proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nThe Road Traffic Rules Act\
  \ (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia No 82/13 - Officially Consolidated\
  \ Text; hereinafter: ZPrCP) lays down the rules of conduct in road traffic and the\
  \ powers and sanctions to be imposed by the competent authorities in the implementation\
  \ of the Act.\nArticle 30(14) of the ZPrCP, which lays down the rules of marshalling\
  \ in the event of a traffic jam, states that in the event of a traffic jam, drivers\
  \ must leave sufficient space for the intervention vehicles to pass between the\
  \ two columns of vehicles stopped in the traffic lanes nearest to the left-hand\
  \ edge of the directional carriageway.\nIn accordance with the provision of Article\
  \ 30(13) ZPrCP, vehicles may drive and stop in a weaning lane or weaning bay:\n\
  emergency medical services, fire-fighting vehicles and protection and rescue vehicles\
  \ when carrying out intervention tasks,\nthe motorway maintenance contractor when\
  \ inspecting and maintaining the road and when removing vehicles,\nthe toll road\
  \ operator, used by toll control officers in the exercise of their control functions,\n\
  the police and military police in the control and regulation of road traffic; and\n\
  inspectors when carrying out inspections.\nIn doing so, all such vehicles must be\
  \ marked with the prescribed traffic lights or with moving signal or stop signs.\n\
  However, in accordance with the provision of Article 30(11) of the ZPrCP, in addition\
  \ to the vehicles referred to in Article 30(13) of the ZPrCP, vehicles may also\
  \ park or stop in a stopping lane or a stopping bay for the purpose of emergency\
  \ stops and emergency assistance stops.\nThe current legislation therefore allows\
  \ for the possibility that in the event of force majeure (breakdown, congestion,\
  \ accident, etc.), other motor vehicles (i.e. vehicles which are otherwise prohibited\
  \ from driving, parking and stopping under the provisions of the ZPrCP) may also\
  \ drive in the stopping lane or in the stopping lane or in the stopping lane, but\
  \ the Ministry will consider the petitioner's suggestion and, when the ZPrCP is\
  \ first amended, will formulate the rule on the classification in the event of congestion\
  \ on the motorway in a clear and unambiguous manner, i.e. in a way that does not\
  \ allow for differing interpretations.\n "
