New Speed Limit Legislation for Pedestrians in Slovakia

November 11, 2025

In Slovakia, a new law has been passed that imposes a speed limit of 6 km/h for pedestrians on sidewalks. This decision has sparked reactions and mockery from citizens, who find the limit excessively strict. Dan Kolar, president of the Cyklokoalicia organization, noted that the limit is hard to maintain, especially for children. Offenders will face a fine of 100 euros. Many citizens are urging the government to reconsider this law.
