Additional 7.2 kilometres of motorway opened to traffic

According to the original plans, the Swiss motorway network will comprise 1,892.2 kilometres when it is completed. In 2012, two new stretches totalling 7.2 kilometres were completed: this means that 95.6 percent (or 1,808.50 kilometres) have been constructed to date. In 2013, 4.8 kilometres (2 stretches) will be handed over to traffic: Serrières to Areuse (1.7 km, canton of Neuchâtel) and Moutier Est to Court (3.1 km, canton of Bern). The Federal Council has approved plans to adapt the motorway network to the present-day requirements. For this purpose, 376 kilometres are to be added as of the beginning of 2014 (the stretches concerned are existing cantonal roads).

No. of withdrawn licences unchanged in 2012

In 2012, a total of 76,196 drivers (717 fewer than in 2011) had to surrender their licence. As in recent years, the main reasons for confiscation were speeding and drink driving. Significantly fewer licences had to be withdrawn due to speeding and failure to obey traffic lights and signals.

N.Z. N.Z. N.Z. Transalpine goods traffic

Number of HGVs crossing the Alps down by 3 percent in 2012

A total of 1,218,795 heavy goods vehicles crossed the Alps in 2012 or 3.2 percent less than in the previous year. Since 2003, this figure has consistently been around 1.25 million. The 2012 figure of just over 1.2 million represents a reduction by exactly 39,699 HGVs, or 3.2 percent, versus 2011. This trend is well within the fluctuation range that has been observed during the past few years. A reduction was recorded on all transalpine routes with the exception of the Simplon in the canton of Valais, which was used by around 85,000 HGVs in 2012, or 6.7 percent more than in the previous year. For many years, by far the highest figures have been recorded at the Gotthard road tunnel, though here, too, 3.3 percent fewer HGVs were registered than in 2011.

Special Fund for the Financing of Road Transport

This Fund comprises revenue that is earmarked for the financing of road transport projects. It is financed from half the oil tax revenue, the revenue from the oil tax surcharge and the net proceeds from sales of motorway stickers. The currently applicable official tax rates and fees are as follows: Oil tax, 43.12 cents per litre of petrol and 45.87 cents per litre of diesel (unchanged since 1993); Oil tax surcharge, 30 cents per litre of fuel (unchanged since 1974); Motorway sticker (“Vignette”), 40 Swiss francs a year (unchanged since 1995). A variety of tasks relating to road traffic are financed via this Fund. In addition to the financing of the federal government's own road infrastructure (motorway network), the Fund is used for supporting the financing of the road infrastructure belonging to the cantons, as well as various other road traffic related tasks at the federal level (project-related contributions, cf. diagram below). The annual differences between income and expenditure increase or decrease the reserves from the previous years.
