Zagrebačka Avenue, Commercial avenue in western Zagreb, Croatia
Zagrebačka Avenue is a dual carriageway with three lanes in each direction in western Zagreb. It starts as a continuation of Slavonska Avenue at the Savska Road intersection and ends at the Savska Opatovina roundabout. The avenue was widened and separated from the former Ljubljanska Avenue in 2006.
The avenue originated in 2006 when city authorities separated and renamed a section of the former Ljubljanska Avenue. This change was part of a broader restructuring of the traffic network in western Zagreb.
This avenue functions as a major shopping and commuting route where Zagreb residents regularly pass through and use the commercial centers along the way. The street has become embedded in how locals navigate and experience the western part of the city.
The avenue has three lanes in each direction and carries heavy east–west traffic, so crossing on foot is only safe at marked intersections. Only the Savska Opatovina roundabout was rebuilt as a roundabout interchange; the other crossings remain at-grade. Allow extra time at peak hours.
After the Savska Opatovina roundabout was enlarged, no other junction on the avenue was rebuilt as a grade-separated interchange, a decision Mayor Milan Bandić was publicly criticised for. Critics also called the 2006 renaming of the section from Ljubljanska Avenue unnecessary and confusing.
