Between Klenovica and Senj (on the D8 state road section), traffic is frequently closed due to strong wind gusts (bura) for the first category of vehicles (double-decker buses, vehicles with caravans, and motorcycles). The road closure between Klenovica and Senj occurs when wind gusts measured at the Balinski Viaduct exceed 25 m/s in wet road conditions and 30.6 m/s in dry road conditions (according to the current regulations of Croatian Roads). In this study, an analysis of the spatial distribution of wind speed along the road section between Klenovica and Senj was conducted using the "Wind effect" module available in the QGIS platform, along with wind speed and direction data from the Aladin-Hr numerical atmospheric model for the period 1998-2001. In the QGIS interface, a spatial resolution of 25m was used for calculations along the analyzed road section, while the wind speed and direction data from the Aladin-Hr model have a spatial resolution of 4km and a temporal resolution of 3 hours. The results of the conducted analysis show that it is not necessary to close the D-8 road section between Klenovica and Senj if the reference anemographic station for the D-8 road (Balinski Most) registers a wind speed exceeding the maximum allowed value. The conclusion is that by constructing infrastructure such as windbreaks at critical points, the impact of wind on traffic safety could be reduced, thereby avoiding more frequent road closures.
