Driving Tips

The Swiss highway speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph) unless signs show different limits.
You need a CHF 40 highway vignette before driving on any highway. Buy at the border, post offices or fuel stations and stick it on the windshield.
In towns the limit is 50 km/h (31 mph) and 30 km/h (19 mph) in many residential areas.
Winter tires are not required by law but police can fine you if you block traffic without them. Some mountain roads require snow chains when signs indicate this.
Zurich has many blue-zone parking areas. Display a free parking disc to show arrival time and move your vehicle after one hour (Monday to Saturday 08:00–19:00).
Fuel stations on highways are open 24 hours and accept credit cards, but smaller rural stations can be unmanned at night.
Headlights must stay on at all times, even during the day.

Practical Tips

Carry your passport and rental documents. Police do regular checks near borders.
Emergency numbers: 112 (general), 117 (police), 118 (fire), 144 (ambulance).
Quiet hours at most Swiss campsites are 22:00–07:00. Security may ask you to turn off engines during these times.
You must separate garbage. Standard bags need a local tax sticker called "Gebührensack" sold in supermarkets.
Lakeside roads can flood during heavy spring snow melt. Check traffic app "TCS" for road closures.
Wild animals like deer and foxes are active at dawn. Drive slowly on forest roads to avoid accidents.
