Why radar features are disabled here

Radarlo adheres to local law. Detecting a device in Switzerland disables the radar overlay to keep the product compliant for drivers.

Legal basis: SVG Art. 57b

This page replaces the radar map with road-safety information. You can still use Radarlo for general speed awareness and in-car safety tools that are permitted under local law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Radarlo's radar-warning feature available in Switzerland?

No. Under SVG Art. 57b, radar-warning applications may not be used by drivers. Radarlo's radar overlay is automatically disabled for devices detected in Switzerland. This page provides general road-safety information instead.

What are the speed limits in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, the usual speed limits are: urban 50 km/h, rural single carriageway 80 km/h, divided highway 100 km/h, motorway 120 km/h. Posted signs always prevail over general rules.

What should I use instead of a radar-warning app in Switzerland?

Use official road information services, published speed-limit signage, in-car speed-limit assistants, and plan to drive within the posted limit. Radarlo can still help you understand general road safety but will not display enforcement-device locations in Switzerland.

What are the penalties for speeding in Switzerland?

Switzerland applies the Via sicura regime. Severe speeding (Raserei) can trigger mandatory prison terms, licence suspension, and vehicle confiscation regardless of first-time status.
