Traffic legislation in Slovakia

Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. The maximum permissible speed in the cities is 50 km / h, highways 90 km / h and highways 130 km / h.
Promille limit for motorists is 0.0. There is a ban on mobile telephony while driving – however, a hands-free phone is allowed. Also pay attention to the rules for child seats. Dipped beam is required in the period 28.10 – 31.03.

Customize your driving environment. Not all roads are in the same condition as in Denmark. There is frequent construction activity on roads and houses. Especially in the case of railway crossings, cautious traffic is recommended. In the event of accidents, the police must be notified – they ensure that an accident report is prepared. In the event of visible damage to the car, the report must state whether there is anything to object to departure.

It is only recommended to park on supervised parking spaces, in garages or in carports. If this is not possible, it is recommended to install visible anti-theft measures.
Do not leave valuables and money or credit cards in the car.
In Slovakia, a motorway sign is required for motorways or expressways. The vignette can be purchased at the border, at post offices or at some petrol stations.

1 liter of unleaded petrol costs in Slovakia approx. 1.4 €. Slovakia (vignette required throughout the year): 15 days 10 € (subject to change)

It is recommended to use snow chains in all mountain areas in winter. Snow chains can be bought at the destination, but rarely rented out.
