Tips for driving in Switzerland

Fines are strict for driving over the speed limits (50, 80, and 120 km/h), and maintaining limits in residential areas (30 km/h) also is monitored. Extreme transgressions (+70 km/h at 30 km/h, 100 km/h in an urban area, 140 km/h in a non-urban area, and +80 km/h on a motorway) are criminal offences subject to imprisonment for up to 4 years, confiscation of a driving licence for 2 years, or confiscation and sale of the vehicle. Any use of anti-radar devices is strictly prohibited.
