Switzerland's 2010 autoroute sticker: fines start 1 February!

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Today is the first day when you must have a current autoroute sticker if you take a Swiss motorway, or you risk a CHF100 fine. Police will be checking for them at several autoroute exits. The sticker, which costs CHF40, must be correctly displayed in the left corner of your front windshield. Note that it must be stuck on, to avoid people sharing the sticker between cars, since it is a per car annual highway use road tax.

You can buy the sticker at border posts, post offices and many kiosks.

The road tax has not been increased since it was introduced 15 years ago. Switzerland does not have highway tolls.
