Dear Sir or Madam! Slovenia is currently already in a situation of being a transit country, as far as transport infrastructure is concerned. The motorways are heavily congested, and there is a huge amount of renovation work, mainly during a period when the roads are also characterised by congestion caused by foreign citizens. Freight traffic is an additional, and extremely heavy, burden. There is a huge amount of traffic, too much for Slovenian motorways.

Partial overtaking bans for freight vehicles can be observed on certain sections, but often only with a time limit. I propose to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure that it should generally ban overtaking by all goods vehicles and vehicles which, by their very nature, have a maximum speed limit for the carriage of goods. This would apply for 24 hours on all sections of motorways. Breaking it would result in heavy penalties for both the driver and the haulier.
