Národná diaľničná spoločnosť, a.s. (National Motorway Company, hereafter referred to as “NDS”) has launched a new edition of Slovak motorway vignettes for 2027. Drivers can now purchase an e-vignette in advance with a postponed date of validity start. This is a preferred way by customers who do not want to deal with the purchase of a new vignette for next year at the very last minute. In 2026, 13 thousand motorway vignettes were sold in advance.

The Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic, together with the National Motorway Company, held an opening ceremony to mark the opening of the new section of the northern D1 motorway. The motorway section between Hubová and Ivachnová, including the Čebrať tunnel, will significantly benefit drivers travelling from western Slovakia to the east and vice versa. It will also relieve the residents of Ružomberok from congested roads, noise and pollution caused by excessive traffic. The new section was co-financed by the European Union and opened to traffic on Monday.

In the first half of 2026, the demand for motorway vignettes grew by 10 % compared to the same period in 2025. This growth was caused by several factors, such as the introduction of the 1-day vignette in 2024. Over the first six months of this year, one in four e-vignettes purchased was a 1-day vignette. Innovations in vignette sales also played a significant role.

Národná diaľničná spoločnosť, a.s. (National Motorway Company, hereafter referred to as “NDS”), in cooperation with the Regional Traffic Inspectorate of the Bratislava Police Directorate, has launched summer checks focusing on compliance with charging regulations on motorway sections. Over the past weekend, NDS and police officers have checked nearly 5,300 drivers. Around 60 drivers were fined for driving without a vignette.

Národná diaľničná spoločnosť, a.s. (National Motorway Company, hereafter referred to as “NDS”) recently put the entire D1 and D4 motorway interchange near Bratislava into operation.

Last but not least, it significantly makes life easier for drivers who need to get from one Bratislava district to another. The entire outer bypass of Bratislava on the D4 motorway can be used by passenger vehicles free of charge. However, this does not apply to trucks, which are required to pay toll charges according to standard rules.
