You're correct. Let me translate those two sentences:
I hope that explains it.
In other news, the missing part of A4 (Ptuj-Croatia) goes U/C next year and is to be completed in 2013. :cheers: There were also some talks about expressway to Velenje.

Let's take a ride on Slovenian highways!
The Slovenian road network consists of 543 km (338 mi) of motorways/freeways and 83 km (52 mi) of 4-lane expressways:

I'll start with the Ljubljana Ring, a 4-lane ringroad, surrounding the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, a city of 260,000 inhabitants and my hometown. Its length is almost 30 km (18 mi), of which 20 km (12 mi) is motorway/freeway (general speed limit 130 km/h (80 mph)), and the remaining 10 km (6 mi) is expressway (general speed limit 100 km/h (62 mph)). The first part of it was put in traffic in 1981, and it was finished in 1999. The photos of it were all taken today by me.
Thanks for this map to our forumer Chire! A1 and A2 are motorways/freeways ("A" stands for "avtocesta" = motorway/freeway in Slovenian), H3 is the 4-lane expressway ("H" stands for "hitra cesta" = expressway in Slovenian). The A2 motorway/freeway between the Ring and Šentvid (5.5 km) will be put in traffic next year. With its completion the expressway network of Ljubljana will be finished.

Let's go... Sorry for the bad picture, they will improve, I just wanted to show you where I started. I started in the northeastern corner of the Ljubljana Ring, at the interchange Zadobrova, between H3 and A1, heading to the A1 (also E57 and the V. (5th) Pan-European Transport Corridor), and starting on the eastern bypass.

As this thread is quite boring lately, even proposals deserve to be mentioned. So, this is a new proposal for building Škofljica bypass towards Kočevje, as well as widening the A2 motorway southeast of Ljubljana. Here is a drawing made by keber. Pay special attention to 2×3 turning into 4×2 (not 2×4) by Ljubljana (due to lack of space).
I hope it gets built.![]()
nice proposal. those 4 tunnels will be similar to those ones on A4 near Vicenca..
I think it's due to (almost) finished motorway cross. big openings are behind us, from now on we'll get only less important short links and widenings (Ljubljana ring I hope). but to make it less boring, we could start documentating Slovenia's main roads, bypasses, city avenues.
currently I am not in Slovenia, so, Verso...?
i could have taken a lots of photos of SLO motorways in last month, but i traveled it in night each time. in last month i ahve passed them all except Ljubljana - Maribor and Maribor - Hungary and these are the only SLO motorways which I havened seen yet, they are absolutely out of all my routes
this proposal is interesting, in that tunnel always appear crowds. btw, in which of those 2 tunnels at A2 is speed control, that one, or the other?

Iono, I'd have to buy a new cam.I think it's due to (almost) finished motorway cross. big openings are behind us, from now on we'll get only less important short links and widenings (Ljubljana ring I hope). but to make it less boring, we could start documentating Slovenia's main roads, bypasses, city avenues.
Yeah, because of tunnels, not lack of space. It would be less chaotic than widening the existing tunnel(s). But it would be interesting, if they also widened the southern or eastern LJ bypass. You'd come from 3 lanes (one direction) to 2 in the Malence interchange, and then back to 3 after it. But widening to 4×3 (or widening any ramp to 3 lanes in the interchange) probably wouldn't make sense (at least I hope so, or else we'd be stuck with 4 too narrow tunnel tubes). I guess AADT is somewhere around 25,000 now, so low.
What do you mean? It would be right before this viaduct.
There're no radars in Slovenian tunnels, only before and sometimes after them. There's one right after the second tunnel and viaduct from Ljubljana (but in direction LJ), but the speed limit there is 130 km/h. In the other direction a radar is right before it, and speed limit 100 km/h (although now I'm not sure a radar is really there; keber should know better).
