Driving Notes

You need a CHF 40 motorway vignette before entering any highway. Buy it at the border or post office and stick it to the windscreen.
Speed limits: 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways, 100 km/h (62 mph) on expressways, 80 km/h (50 mph) on rural roads, 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns unless signed otherwise.
Daytime running lights are required by law. Keep headlights on even during sunshine.
Speed cameras and tunnel toll violations are enforced on foreign license plates. Fines are often mailed to your home address.
Mountain passes can be narrow with sharp turns. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes may need to use alternative routes or book car-trains in advance (for example Lötschberg, Furka).
Many passes close from approximately November to May. Check the TCS pass status map on the morning you plan to drive.
In winter, carry snow chains. Police can turn you around if you do not have them when "Ketten obligatorisch" signs appear.
