Slovenia
1. Footpath
A footpath is a path or part of a road intended primarily for pedestrian traffic. It may run alongside a road, through a park or residential area, or independently from roads used by motor vehicles.
A footpath may be reserved exclusively for pedestrians or may form part of a shared route with cyclists or other permitted users. Access, priority and permitted users depend on the traffic signs and local regulations applying to the path.
What does Slovenia call a roadside pavement?
The official term is pločnik. It is separated from the carriageway by its level or another feature. It can also accommodate cycling where a cycling strip is marked or traffic signs authorise cyclists. Its appearance alone does not establish cycling permission.

Can a Slovenian pavement include an authorised cycling route?
Yes. The national regulation recognises pavements with a marked cycling strip or traffic signs allowing cyclists. Check the marking and signs on the actual route. An ordinary pavement must not be treated automatically as a shared walking and cycling path.

How can I recognise separate walking and cycling parts on a Slovenian pavement?
On a Slovenian pavement arranged for both walking and cycling, the pedestrian and cycling parts are at the same level. They may share the surface or be divided longitudinally by a raised dividing line, a paved dividing line, a tactile warning strip or another tactile material. Follow the actual signs and allocation of space.
