Winter tires & snow chains
From 15 November to 15 March, and at any other time winter conditions are present, vehicles must run winter tires on all wheels (or summer tires with chains fitted when signed); a coastal-area exception can reduce requirements for part of the year.
Tolls
System
Vignette
A digital, plate-linked e-vignette is required for motorway and expressway use; purchase online or at kiosks, valid for a set period (e.g. 7 days / 1 month / 1 year).

Seatbelts
Mandatory front and rear.
Mobile phone use
Hands-free only while driving.
Child seats
Children shorter than 150 cm require an approved child restraint appropriate to their size.
Headlights
Dipped headlights mandatory at all times, day and night, year-round.
Low-emission & restricted zones
No nationwide low-emission zone network; Ljubljana restricts general traffic in its historic center.
Right of way & roundabouts
Priority to the right at unmarked intersections; roundabouts give way to circulating traffic.
Parking
Most towns use paid blue zones (ticket machine or app); some short-stay zones use a parking disc instead.
Speed cameras
Fixed and mobile cameras are common, including some average-speed sections on motorways.
Good to know
Novice drivers (under 2 years licensed) have a 0.0 alcohol limit. Headlights are required year-round.
