response: 'Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure


  The Road Traffic Rules Act (RTA) lays down the rules of the road and the powers
  and sanctions to be imposed by the various competent authorities in implementing
  the Act. Enforcement of the provisions of the Act is mainly carried out by the police,
  who control and regulate traffic on public roads and uncategorised roads used for
  road traffic, monitor the condition and trafficability of these roads, vehicles,
  cargo in and on vehicles, drivers and other road users, and exercise powers relating
  to road safety. The Act also defines, among other things, the overtaking and maximum
  speed limits for each type of road network, as well as the maximum speed limits
  for each type of vehicle, which are normally supplemented by appropriate traffic
  signs to be erected by the road network operator.


  At the same time, it should be noted that DARS d.d., as the operator of the motorway
  and expressway network, already regulates or prohibits overtaking of goods vehicles
  on a significant number of individual motorway sections by means of traffic signals
  (fixed and variable). In addition, during periods of winter or adverse weather conditions,
  traffic control and the appropriate equipment of vehicles are tightened in order
  to ensure that traffic flows as smoothly and safely as possible, even in adverse
  weather conditions.


  With regard to the proposed introduction of traffic control points on the motorway
  and expressway network, it should be pointed out that, in the context of the adaptations
  made to the front-end toll stations, suitable areas have already been built or rebuilt
  in some cases to enable the control authorities (police, tax administration, inspection
  services, toll control, etc.) to carry out effective and safe control of passenger
  and freight traffic in an appropriate manner. The areas of the existing toll stations
  (Log, Torovo, Kompolje, etc.) have been or will be redeveloped in this way.


  The Ministry of Infrastructure, in cooperation with DARS d.d., will continue to
  work intensively to ensure the best possible safety and traffic flow for all users
  on the Slovenian motorway and expressway network, and therefore welcomes any proposals
  for measures, which must, of course, be subject to further expert assessment and
  appropriate adjustments in the light of the existing state of the traffic regime
  and sectoral legislation.'
