Priority over oncoming trafficSlovenia
Traffic rules
Slovenia
1. Priority over oncoming traffic
Priority over oncoming traffic means that drivers travelling in one direction have priority through a narrow section of road over drivers approaching from the opposite direction. The rule is normally indicated by a priority sign facing one direction and a corresponding give-way sign facing the other.
Drivers with priority must still approach cautiously and must not force their way through when the passage is blocked or already occupied. The signs regulate priority through the narrow section, not speed, parking or priority at nearby intersections.
How is priority over oncoming traffic controlled in Slovenia?
Slovenian sign 2106, prednost pred vozili iz nasprotne smeri, gives your direction priority over opposing vehicles through the controlled section. The corresponding sign 2105 requires the other approach to wait while opposing traffic passes. Continue only when passage is safe.

Can you enter an occupied narrow passage when you have priority in Slovenia?
Do not force a conflict. Check the full available width and let a vehicle already committed to the passage clear it when both vehicles cannot pass safely. A priority control does not permit creating danger or disregarding a red signal or authorised instruction.

Does priority through a narrow passage extend to nearby junctions in Slovenia?
No. A control releasing your direction or giving priority over opposing traffic concerns that passage. Junction priority, speed limits, crossings and any later restriction must be assessed separately from their own signs and rules.
