Having an app(which is illegal, but worth the risk I think) is not a bad idea. I love the nature beauty in CH, but the speeding fines and normal prices for food and hotel rooms is just insane. 6 euros for a Coke or 45 euros for some Schnitzel or paying double for a hotel room(than in DE or Italy) That's why I always like cross the border and stay the night outside of Switzerland - when I can... IF I can!  |
^^^^ Dear welcome visitors
you should really take the speed limits for serious over here!
They will send you also to prison if indicated, just as those UK guys.

All of the nice alp drives are well know by the local police. The know exactly where people drive fast. You can bet, that they are somewhere waiting for speeders!
Be carful, they even camouflage the radar stations, so you can hardly see them. Oh, and if you see the light, you didn't win
Also be careful with those radar at traffic lights. Many of them also catch you for speeding, not only for red light passing. (in the City of Zurich, all of them in the meantime)
