Slovenia
3. Zone
A traffic zone is an area in which a traffic rule applies throughout all included roads or road sections. The rule normally begins at a zone-entry sign and remains applicable until the corresponding end-of-zone sign is passed.
Zones may regulate speed, parking, access, vehicle categories, emissions or other traffic behaviour. The signs used, the roads covered and the effect of intersections or local exceptions depend on local traffic law.

How do people refer to traffic zones in Slovenia?
A Slovenian restricted-speed area is an območje omejene hitrosti. It is distinct from an območje umirjenega prometa, an area with stronger traffic-calming rules.

Where does a zone rule apply in Slovenia?
The statutory maximum in a restricted-speed area is 30 km/h. Apply the rule on the roads included in the marked area and continue observing other applicable traffic signs.

Is every Slovenian traffic-calming zone governed by the same speed limit?
No. Slovenian law distinguishes restricted-speed areas, residential areas and other special traffic arrangements. Identify the entrance sign and its category instead of using 30 km/h for every area described as a zone.

How do you know when a traffic zone ends in Slovenia?
Observe the boundary signs for the area you are leaving and the rules for the road beyond. Passing an intersection within the designated area is not a reason to disregard its speed restriction.
