Who supervises the correct use of electronic highway signs in Slovenia?
The Slovenian Highway Agency (DARS), the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, and the police are responsible for monitoring the correct use of e-vignettes. Controls are carried out by the operator of toll roads using cameras located on the highway network, at control points, and in vehicles intended for toll collection. Once the system verifies a vehicle that has a purchased e-stamp and no discrepancies are found, all driving data is immediately removed and does not remain recorded in the system. However, if a violation of the rules is detected, the information is retained until the violation procedure is closed.
