D106 is the main road route on the island of Pag. The southern terminus of the road is located in Posedarje, at an intersection with D8 state route - the Adriatic Highway. The road uses Pag Bridge as a crossing between the mainland and Pag Island.

The road also comprises an interchange with A1 motorway in Posedarje interchange.[2]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, a state-owned company.[3]

Traffic volume

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste (HC), operator of the road. Furthermore, the HC report number of vehicles using Prizna-Žigljen ferry line, connecting D106 to the D406 state road.[4] Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road connects a number of summer resorts to Croatian motorway network.
