Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Swiss federal government has issued a correction to Swiss media reports this week that said the fine for not having a 2010 autoroute sticker on your car have gone up. The fine remains CHF100, the government says. Parliament has been debating an increase, but if one goes into effect it will not be before 2011.

Anyone who drives on Swiss autoroutes must have a valid sticker, correctly displayed, which costs CHF40. The sticker is an annual road tax; Swiss motorways do not charge tolls.

Drivers have until 31 January to place the sticker on the car. Ed. note: stickers cannot be shared between cars.
