7. Pedestrian zone
A pedestrian zone is an area consisting of one or more streets that are reserved primarily for pedestrians. Motor-vehicle access is normally prohibited or restricted to authorised users, particular purposes or specified times.
Pedestrians may usually use the full width of the available road space. Rules concerning cyclists, deliveries, public transport, vehicle speed, stopping and parking depend on local traffic signs and regulations.

How should I recognise pedestrian-only access in Slovenia?
The official term is območje za pešce. The national Act gives pedestrians the space, with specified permitted users and service or emergency exceptions. Other vehicles need the access allowed by the traffic signs.

May cyclists ride in pedestrian areas in Slovenia?
Cycling is allowed only in the manner the Act permits: riders must not endanger pedestrians and must adapt their speed to walking. The area is different from a cycling-only facility or an ordinary mixed street.
