Roads in Switzerland are typically in excellent condition and the country has one of the lowest traffic accident rates in the world. But be aware of steep, winding routes, hairpin bends, long tunnels, and many mountain passes close for winter. The limit is generally 50km/h (31mph) in built-up areas, 80 to 100km/h on the open road, and 120km/h on motorways. And don’t forget the Swiss drive on the right!
