According to findings compiled by the Ministry of the Interior, police, DARS, the Public Transport Agency (AVP), and subsequent inspection checks, the presence of current worksites on Slovenian motorways and expressways presents notable challenges regarding both traffic safety and overall traffic flow. The Ministry of Infrastructure specifically highlighted that these difficulties are particularly pronounced on high-traffic segments, such as the Primorska motorway. Despite these identified concerns, the Ministry of Infrastructure issued a statement defending the current operational arrangements.
They reported that analyses indicate most temporary traffic management setups adhere to applicable regulations and professional guidelines. Furthermore, the Ministry asserted that the traffic management system utilized, designated as C2+2, maintains significantly greater traffic permeability compared to alternative solutions involving only a single traffic lane in each direction. The C2+2 system, as explained, involves establishing two narrow lanes for traffic flow in each direction.
This technical assessment suggests that while the worksites create congestion issues, the implemented lane configuration is deemed effective for maximizing throughput within the established safety and regulatory frameworks.
