Slovenia rolls out average-speed monitoring on major motorways

Slovenia has introduced average-speed enforcement on three highway sections, targeting key summer-tourism corridors on the A1 and A2 routes, including Logatec-Vrhnika toward Ljubljana, Ljubljana-Brod toward Vodice, and Grosuplje-Ivančna Gorica toward Novo Mesto. The system calculates a vehicle’s average speed between two checkpoints, allowing drivers who briefly drop below the limit at the start to avoid penalties, but penalising those who exceed the maximum speed of 130 km/h over longer stretches.

The next phase will equip the A1 segment between Podmilj and Ločica with the same technology. Fines are set at €40 for speeds up to 20 km/h over the limit and €1,200 for excesses of 50 km/h or more. The rollout has prompted a Hungarian transport ministry survey on whether to introduce comparable average-speed checks.
