Slovenia: parking time limit
In the near future, parking lots along motorways in Slovenia will be equipped with signs informing about the parking limit of up to 25 hours for vehicles with a GVW over 3.5 t. After this period, parked lorries will have to leave the parking space.
According to the Motorway Company in the Republic of Slovenia (DARS), , the number of parking spaces along motorways is limited, so they should not be unnecessarily occupied.
The new traffic law sets out the following parking rules for vehicles using parking spaces along motorways and expressways:
✅ Buses and lorries with a GVW over 3.5 t are allowed to park in designated places for up to 25 hours. If these vehicles are subject to a driving ban or restriction for a period longer than 25 hours, they are allowed to park for the duration of the ban or restriction.
Violations of the rule will be punished with a fine of EUR 300 (for the driver), and EUR 1000 (for the carrier).
✅ Drivers are obliged to place a note behind the windscreen clearly indicating the time and date when the parking started (e.g. 10:25, 25/11/2021).
The fine for failing to provide this information is EUR 150 euros (for the driver).
Toll inspectors are distributing leaflets with information about the parking time limit and the fines for non-compliance.
