Next week, speed controls will be tightened throughout Slovenia.

On July 31, 2026, Slovenia announced heightened speed control measures across the country for the next week. Police authorities will conduct both regular checks and implement a 'chain method' on more dangerous road sections, where multiple patrols will monitor drivers at different points along the same route. Authorities warn that traffic has not calmed during the summer season, with increased congestion expected in August due to holidays and roadworks, leading to delays on major tourist routes and a rise in motorcycle traffic. Drivers are urged to remain calm, moderate, and responsible. Unadjusted speed remains one of the main causes of severe accidents, with police data showing 2005 accidents this year caused by speeding, resulting in 23 deaths, 204 serious injuries, and 950 minor injuries.
