âFast e-bikes (S-Pedelecs, up to 45 km/h) now need a category M license, yellow plate, helmet, mirrors, and daytime running lights. They're banned from cycle paths unless specifically allowed. Slow e-bikes (25 km/h) remain classified as bicycles. As a car driver, be aware of speed differences.â
Re: Via Sicura Program: Updated Excessive Speed Penalties
ã€ã³ã¹ãã©ã¯ã¿ãŒã®ãã³ã
âThe Via Sicura "raser" rules still apply but with more judicial flexibility. Exceeding the limit by 40+ km/h (on motorways) still triggers the raser offense. Your vehicle can still be confiscated. The main change is judges can consider circumstances rather than applying mandatory minimums.â
Re: Digital Motorway Vignette Available
ã€ã³ã¹ãã©ã¯ã¿ãŒã®ãã³ã
âYou can now buy the Swiss motorway vignette digitally - it's linked to your license plate number instead of being stuck on your windshield. It costs the same CHF 40 per year. Buy it online before entering Switzerland. Driving without a valid vignette on motorways means a CHF 200 fine plus the vignette cost.â
