17. Road narrowing
A road narrowing is a section where the available width of the road or carriageway becomes smaller. The narrowing may occur on both sides, on one side only, or because one or more traffic lanes end.
Drivers should reduce speed, observe approaching and adjacent traffic, maintain sufficient lateral clearance and merge when necessary. Warning signs do not always determine priority, so drivers must follow any priority signs, lane markings and local traffic rules.

Does a narrowing warning give you priority in Slovenia?
No. A warning describes the reduced width, rather than allocating priority or setting a numerical speed limit. Follow any separate priority signs, signals and meeting rules, and slow enough to pass safely or wait before entering.

What should you do if traffic lanes merge at a narrowing in Slovenia?
Where a lane on a carriageway with two or more marked lanes is blocked or ends, drivers in the adjacent lane must adjust speed and following distance so that one vehicle at a time can enter alternately. Follow this zipper system and make the manoeuvre safely, taking account of the actual signs and markings.
