Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Speed limits in Switzerland slightly differ from the UK, with a maximum of 50km/h in urban areas, 80km/h on open roads, and 120 km/h on motorways. Driving over the speed limit can lead to heavy fines. Always wear your seat belts and keep your headlights on, day or night. These are both statutory requirements.
