s. The D8 is still popular as an alternative to the tolled motorways, so the road carries fairly constant traffic during most of the year. The traffic intensifies in the summer, because of substantial traffic to tourist destinations. The section from Rijeka to Senj experiences heavy traffic in particular because many motorists are unwilling to take the longer route along A6 and A1. This problem used to be exacerbated before 2009 when A6 still had slow semi-highway parts on the Rijeka–Bosiljevo route. This section will remain congested at peak times until eventual completion of the A7 motorway between Rupa and Žuta Lokva. Since the parallel A1 motorway ends near Ploče, southbound A1 traffic generally switches to the D8 state road. after Ploče, the D8 road terminates at the Klek border crossing to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the Adriatic Highway route runs across a tiny strip of Bosnia and Herzegovina territory around the town of Neum. As the route reenters Croatia at Zaton Doli border crossing the D8 state road resumes, running to

along the coastline. East of Dubrovnik the road passes by Dubrovnik Airport and reaches the border with Montenegro at the Karasovići border crossing. There are official plans to build an expressway bypassing Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina entirely via a series of tunnels and bridges, Pelješac Bridge being the most notable. The route would diverge from the current D8 route south of Ploče, cross the bridge to the

peninsula, form a junction to the D414 state road and rejoin the present D8 route near Doli. The expressway is to be tolled. So far no official road number has been assigned to the planned route, although construction of the Pelješac Bridge was started. It is also possible that the D8 designation will be transferred from the bypassed D8 section to the expressway. The D8 is the longest state road in Croatia at .

) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road carries substantial tourist traffic. Traffic volume on the D8 state road varies greatly, as the road runs through areas of more or less developed tourist industry. Furthermore, the road runs through or near a number of major Croatian cities, such as

and Split, which add to the traffic volume significantly. Thus, the most congested section of the D8 state road is in the city of Split, between Solin and

, where the greatest

figures are regularly recorded, far exceeding comparable figures of the busiest motorway sections in Croatia. Conversely, the lowest traffic volume on the D8 road is observed near Karlobag due to comparatively less developed tourism and the absence of major cities in the area. The AADT recorded on the D8 road observed in Split (Solin and Stobreč) is nearly 50 times greater than in Karlobag. Note: All the traffic counting sites are located along the D8 road.
