Develompment
The traffic position of the
municipality is rather favorable, although it is situated on a state
cross-border. Passing through is one of the key traffic directions: the state
road D2 (Slovenia – border crossing Dubrava Križovljanska – Varaždin – Virovitica
– Našice – Osijek – Vukovar – Ilok – Serbia and Montenegro). Furthermore,
construction of a fast road, the so-called „Podravska magistrala
(highway)“ is planned for near future, which will be passing through the plain
area of the municipality, and which will be directly linking Austria through
Slovenia with highway Budapest-Zagreb. It should be emphasized that the
mentioned Podravska magistrala will be passing through Economic zone Cestica.
On the territory of municipality Cestica, there are two international border
crossings and one boundary crossing towards the Republic of Slovenia. The first
is Dubrva Križovljanska – Zavrč, which has a status of a permanent
international border road crossing of I. Category, and the other one is Otok
Virje – Ormož, with a status of a permanent international border crossing of
II. Category, while the boundary crossing Križanče – Drenovec is located on a
3-border point area of municipalities Cestica, Donja Voća and Zavrč.
According to data by the Border-crossing Police station Varaždin, during the
first 9 months of 2004,1.553.651 passengers and a total of 464.840 vehicles
passed through the Dubrava Križovljanska border-crossing. During the same
period of time, a total of 560.412 passengers and 100.512 vehicles passed
through the border-crossing Otok Virje.
