Slovenia
1. Residential area
A residential area is a street or group of streets where housing and access to local properties are the main functions. Drivers should expect pedestrians, cyclists, children, parked vehicles and vehicles entering or leaving driveways.
Some countries identify particular residential areas with traffic signs and apply special low-speed and residential-area rules. The speed limit, pedestrian rights, parking rules and permitted road users therefore depend on local signs and regulations.
How do people refer to a residential area in Slovenia?
The Slovenian term for the specially signposted low-speed category is območje umirjenega prometa. It differs from an ordinary 30 km/h zone and from other designated urban road categories.
