Bike pathSlovenia
5. Bike path
A bike path is a part of a road or a separate route intended primarily or exclusively for people riding bicycles. It may be physically separated from motor traffic, marked on the road surface or identified by traffic signs.
Bike paths may be one-way, two-way or shared with other road users. The permitted users, direction of travel, priority rules and obligation to use the path depend on local traffic signs and regulations.

Must cyclists use provided Slovenian cycling facilities?
Yes. Use the designated cycling surface, identified by its signs and markings. The official terms include kolesarski pas for a cycle lane and kolesarska steza for a cycle track. A cycling route is a kolesarska pot.

Where should I ride if a Slovenian road has no cycle track or lane?
Ride close to the right edge of the carriageway in the direction of travel. The absence of a cycling facility does not generally make an ordinary pavement available for cycling. Continue to obey traffic signs and the road’s other restrictions.

Can cyclists normally ride side by side on a Slovenian road?
Normally, Slovenian cyclists riding together must ride one behind another. On a designated cycling route, kolesarska pot, they may ride two abreast if its width allows. This exception does not permit riding abreast across an ordinary road carriageway. Use the required cycling facilities and protect other users.
