Road safety is the responsibility of Slovenia's Ministry of the Interior. It is responsible for the prevention and detection of all types of traffic offenses, traffic regulation and supervision on all public roads, the transport of hazardous materials, public events and meetings on public roads, the registration of vehicles, and the issuing of driving licenses. The Traffic Department within the Ministry of the Interior is responsible for the issuing of driving licenses, the technical inspections and registration of motor vehicles and tractor trailers, the operation of driving schools and examination centers, and the regulation of sporting events on public roads. The Traffic Police constitute a nationwide unit that specializes in traffic enforcement. Their work is done through 11 special Traffic Police Stations in each of the 11 Regional Police Administrations. One special mobile unit works periodically on all roads and border crossings. Approximately 460 uniformed traffic officers work in these units (9 percent of all uniformed officers). Traffic law enforcement strategy is based on selective enforcement, which involves enforcement that is in proportion to the frequency of traffic accidents with respect to time, place, type of violations, violators, and the seriousness of the accidents. Speed is one of the main problems on Slovene roads. Electronic devices have helped broaden traffic enforcement activities. Improved basic and continuing training of traffic police officers can further increase their impact on road safety. Prevention efforts that involve community organizations is a neglected area.
