I forgot about the "Vrata Jadrana" gas station, that is a major truck parking/resting place ... It is very well known by all the drivers and tourists that do that route.
There is enough place to put it after the "Matulji" junction, in the direction of Rijeka with a nice view of the entire Kvarner.
(If I am not mistaken, it is now a Crodux gas station)
This is a picture of the start of the construction of it, about a decade or more, ago (later they made it a bit bigger ...it can take about 30 parked trucks per side) :

Later I will post a screen of the "offending" gates at Grobnik, so You don`t have to loose time searching for it.
