Slovenia

The location at the junction of the Mediterranean, the Alps, the Dinarides and the Pannonian Plain and the area being traversed by major rivers have been the reasons for the intersection of the main transportation routes in Slovenia. Their course was established already in Antiquity. A particular geographic advantage in recent times has been the location of the intersection of the Pan-European transportation corridors V (the fastest link between the North Adriatic, and Central and Eastern Europe) and X (linking Central Europe with the Balkans) in the country. This gives it a special position in the European social, economic and cultural integration and restructuring. With the share of over 80%, the road freight and passenger transportation constitutes the largest part of transportation in Slovenia. Personal cars are much more popular than public road passenger transportation, which has significantly declined. Motorways and expressways, operated by the Motorway Company in the Republic of Slovenia, are the state roads of the highest category.On motorways and expressways, cars must have a toll sticker.Slovenia has a very high motorway density compared to the European Union average.
