The 2027 Swiss motorway vignette costs CHF 40. It runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2028, like every annual vignette: from 1 December of the previous year to 31 January of the following year. The e-vignette is valid as soon as you buy it, it follows the plate, and it does not renew itself. There is no vignette for a few days. Buy it only on the official portal: the price there is CHF 40, with no deposit, and no message asks you to enter a payment again. The sticker follows the vehicle. In Geneva, Stick'AIR applies only during a pollution peak, from 6:00 to 22:00.

The vignette for the national roads costs CHF 40. It is valid from 1 December of the previous year to 31 January of the following year. The e-vignette is linked to the plate. The sticker is linked to the vehicle.
Without a vignette, you do not enter the motorway, even as far as the first exit. Local exceptions exist at the customs posts of the Basel/Saint-Louis motorway, the Rheinfelden motorway and the Kreuzlingen motorway.
The e-vignette is bought on the Via portal of the federal customs administration, with the plate number. The sale price there is CHF 40. Bought abroad by card, the sum depends on the exchange rate and the card fees.
The sticker goes on the windscreen. It does not move from one car to another: it is linked to the vehicle, while the e-vignette follows the plate.
The motorway vignette and the Stick'AIR sticker are two separate rules.
Since 15 January 2020, Geneva switches on differentiated traffic when a rise in pollution is observed or forecast. The measure is temporary and phased: the most polluting vehicles are targeted first.
The sticker has six categories, from 0 to 5. During the peak, from 6:00 to 22:00, only vehicles whose category is allowed drive inside the perimeter. Apart from the listed exceptions, all motor vehicles are covered, wherever they are registered. The fine can reach CHF 500. A deadline until 15 January 2022 concerned the carriage of goods. It has passed.
When the scheme is not switched on, pedestrian streets and the other bans remain. Stick'AIR is not permission to drive everywhere in Geneva. The motorway vignette does not replace the sticker during a peak.
The federal customs office (BAZG) states that radar warning devices are banned: importing, advertising, passing on and selling them, and also installing them in a vehicle, carrying them, attaching them or using them in any way. It links to Art. 98a of the Road Traffic Act (SVG). If it finds such a device, it seizes it and hands it to the cantonal authority, which usually orders its destruction and imposes a fine. Paragraph 3 of the same article also punishes public warnings of official traffic controls, paid warning services and using other devices for that purpose.
In 2007 the Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) said that GPS navigation devices with a function that warns of police speed checks are treated as banned radar warning devices. The BAZG page does not mention apps. Amanda's speed camera alerts are switched off in Switzerland.
