Swiss Traffic Regulations
Swiss traffic regulations prioritize safety and efficiency on the roads. Drivers must adhere to speed limits, which are typically 50 km/h in urban areas and 80 km/h on rural roads. The use of seat belts is mandatory for all passengers, and driving under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited, with a legal limit of 0.05% blood alcohol concentration.
Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks, and cyclists are required to use designated bike lanes where available. Swiss Federal Roads Office oversees the implementation of these regulations, ensuring that all road users follow the rules to maintain a safe driving environment.
