The minister announced the decision on Twitter:
Prepoved prehitevanja za tovorna vozila, težja od 7,5 t, na AC od Šentilja do Kopra daje dobre rezultate. Zlasti smo izboljšali pretočnost. Zato smo se z @DARS_SI dogovorili, da bo s 1.11. prepoved prehitevanja za tovorna vozila veljala po celotnem AC omrežju. pic.twitter.com/lHsbQ5vew1

An overtaking ban for lorries has been in place since January 15th on the busiest A1 motorway during the day (from 6 am to 6 pm). Lorries are allowed to overtake at night and can also overtake on sections where there are three lanes.
In some parts of the entire motorway network, regulations already state that lorries should not overtake during peak hours in the morning and afternoon. Also, lorries are always prohibited from overtaking in tunnels as well as on some city bypasses.
Violations are monitored by the police; the fine is EUR 300.
