1. Separated path

A separated path is a path or part of a road where different categories of road users, typically pedestrians and cyclists, are assigned separate sections of the same overall route. The sections may be distinguished by road markings, different paving materials, a kerb or another physical separation.

Users should remain within the part of the path intended for them and take particular care where the sections cross, merge or connect with roads. The permitted users, priority rules and any speed restrictions depend on the local traffic signs and regulations.

How can Slovenian walking and cycling sections be separated?

The Regulation on Cycling Surfaces provides for separation using markings, contrasting surfaces or a difference in level, depending on the layout. A cycling strip alongside pedestrian space is distinct from an undivided shared surface. Follow the allocated sections.

Does a Slovenian cycling strip on a pavement open the whole pavement to cycling?

No. A kolesarski pas na pločniku is an allocated cycling strip on a pavement. Its boundaries distinguish it from the pedestrian part. The cycling provision does not by itself turn the adjoining walking space into an extra cycle lane.

How does Slovenia distinguish shared space from separate sections on a pavement?

The Regulation recognises both arrangements. Where walking and cycling are separated, the layout allocates distinct parts; where they share a surface, the prescribed signs establish that arrangement. Check the signs and markings instead of inferring shared access from the pavement’s width.
