Swiss Driving Theory · RTA / TRO
Swiss motorways (autobahn, 120 km/h) and semi-motorways (autostrasse, 100 km/h): use acceleration/deceleration lanes, keep right when free, never overtake on the right, vignette required.
On the acceleration lane, match your speed to traffic on the main carriageway. Use the indicator and merge smoothly – the cars on the motorway have priority.
Use the deceleration lane to brake – never slow down on the main carriageway. Indicate before leaving.
Drive in the right-hand lane when free
Use the middle / left lane only for overtaking
Overtaking on the right is forbidden – exception: orderly columns of traffic moving at different speeds (Rechtsvorbeifahren)
Stopping or reversing on the motorway is strictly forbidden
120 km/h on motorways (autobahn) and 100 km/h on semi-motorways (autostrasse). Trailer combinations max. 80 km/h.
A valid motorway vignette (sticker or e-vignette) is required for every car. Penalty for missing vignette: CHF 200.
