response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nYour question or suggestion\
  \ is absolutely right. As a rule, new traffic areas also generate more traffic.\
  \ That is why the Slovenian Government is in favour of shifting a greater proportion\
  \ of freight traffic to rail and, last but not least, has followed this approach\
  \ in the preparation of strategic documents in recent years (the Strategy for the\
  \ Development of Transport in the Republic of Slovenia until 2030 and the Resolution\
  \ on the National Programme for the Development of Transport in the Republic of\
  \ Slovenia for the period up to 2030). However, studies have shown that there are\
  \ certain places where the proportion of transit traffic is not problematic at all,\
  \ and congestion occurs on a daily basis. And in such places, the existing infrastructure\
  \ will need to be expanded, which will be unavoidable. But any such measure will\
  \ certainly be thoroughly studied from an interdisciplinary point of view and implemented\
  \ on the minimum necessary scale. The State can, of course, also resort to administrative\
  \ measures, as you are proposing with regard to tolls, but it should be noted that\
  \ toll increases have certain limits or are controlled through the European Commission,\
  \ so excessive toll increases are not possible.\n "
