2 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft THE DUTIES OF THE SWISS FEDERAL ROADS OFFICE The Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) is the Swiss authority that is responsible for the country s road infrastructure and private road transport. It belongs to the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC), and focuses on securing sustainable and safe mobility on the country s roads, as well as providing a motorway network that is permanently available and environmentally compatible. Main objectives: To enhance road safety To guarantee safe and secure access for road users and vehicles To ensure that Switzerland s road traffic legislation is kept constantly up to date To secure integration into the trans-european road network To review the existing network structure and adapt it where necessary To define the basis for efficient traffic management To complete the motorway network as planned To support the expansion of the existing motorway network To constantly evaluate weak points in the existing motorway network To secure the availability of the motorway and main road networks To secure the necessary degree of operational maintenance To reduce the burden on the environment attributable to road traffic To develop and implement construction projects in accordance with the principle of sustainability In order to achieve these objectives, the Swiss Federal Roads Office works closely together with cantonal, national and international partners, formulates principles and prepares decisions for a sustainable federal road transport policy. It also draws up, supports, co-ordinates and monitors suitable measures at the national and international levels. FEDRO moved into its new administrative centre in Ittigen in October 2005

4 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft Redistribution of financial responsibility: A REFORM PROJECT WITH SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES The redistribution of financial responsibility and the accompanying division of duties between the federal government and the cantons is one of the largest and most important reform projects to be implemented within Switzerland s political system. The electorate approved the necessary amendment to the Federal Constitution on 28 November 2004, while Parliament approved the required legislative amendments on 6 October 2006. The principal objectives of this project are to balance out discrepancies at the cantonal level and to increase efficiency. To accomplish this, the project focuses on two main activities: the reorganisation of the division of duties and the restructuring of financial responsibilities. Numerous state duties are currently shared by the federal government and the cantons, and it is often the case that the party that pays the bill is not the same as the one that makes the decisions. On top of this, the existing system sometimes supports the most costly solutions instead of those that give rise to lower expenditure even though the associated activities may still be relatively extensive. The reform project sets out to redistribute and separate the various state duties, and to regulate the associated responsibilities more appropriately and more clearly. Road transport: shift from joint to sole responsibility The area of road transport serves as a cornerstone of this reform project. In future, responsibility for motorways will no longer be shared, but instead is to be transferred entirely to the federal government. The new distribution of roles is as follows: the federal government is owner of the motorways, and is now also their developer, which means it is responsible for all strategic and operational development activities, and thus has to bear all associated costs. Until now, the federal government was responsible for an average of around 87 percent of the construction and maintenance costs, and approximately 67 percent of the operational maintenance costs. The cantonal governments are still involved, since the completion of the planned motorway network is to remain a shared responsibility. As before, the cantonal authorities are responsible for duties such as damage prevention and policing/emergency services. For the purposes of securing operational and non-project-based structural maintenance, the cantons have joined forces by forming eleven regional units that are entrusted with the task of securing the country s motorways on the basis of service level agreements. Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) decentralisation of certain functions The transfer of ownership of the motorways to the federal government calls for the decentralisation of some of the major functions of the Swiss Federal Roads Office. Responsibility for traffic management on the motorway network is to be transferred from the cantons to the federal government. The central component for mastering this task is the construction and operation of a national traffic management centre in Emmen (canton of Lucerne). Road traffic management is becoming increasingly important. It encompasses the provision of traffic information (bulletins), the management of traffic flow at the national and local levels, as well as traffic control (e.g. at junctions and intersections, and in tunnels). To secure project-based maintenance, the Swiss Federal Roads Office has created five regional offices within its Road Infrastructure division. The sub-division of the motorway network into five regional segments was based on economic and geographical considerations. These segments had to be selected in such a manner as to ensure as constant an investment volume as possible. Each segment also had to be of a certain size in order to make it possible to operate a maintenance centre there with between 25 and 30 employees in an economically viable manner. Each regional office had to be located in the vicinity of its area of responsibility and also be easy to reach by public transport, and this meant that they were established at regional locations outside the major urban centres. In terms of organisation it was also important to ensure that the perimeters of the regional offices were identical to the boundaries of the areas of the non-project-based structural and operational maintenance activities for which the respective offices are responsible. Duties of the regional offices of the Road Infrastructure division The five regional offices are responsible for the majority of tasks (construction, expansion, elimination of bottlenecks, maintenance, etc.) associated with the development of motorways. These include the supervision of projects implemented by external providers, the definition of services, planning of contracts, implementation of procurement procedures, awarding of contracts, monitoring of construction work, acceptance of completed structures, and monitoring of the performance of guarantees. They also record the status of structures and monitor the services of the cantonal units.

A reform project with significant consequences 2006/2007 5 The regional offices of the Road Infrastructure division Estavayer-le-Lac The Estavayer-le-Lac office is responsible for the cantons of Fribourg, Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel, Vaud and the western region of the canton of Bern. Its boundaries are formed by the Kerzers/A1, Lengnau/A5 and Flamatt/A12 connections to the east, and the Bex Nord/A9 connection to the south. The length of motorway for which it is responsible is 446 kilometres. The Estavayer-le-Lac office monitors cantonal units II (Geneva, Fribourg, Vaud) and IX (Neuchâtel, Jura, Bern). Thun The Thun regional office is responsible for the project-based maintenance of motorways in the cantons of Bern and Valais. Its boundaries are formed by the Brünig/Passhöhe connection (A8) and the works /maintenance exit at Recherswil (on the A1) to the east, the Kerzers/A1 and Flamatt/A12 connections to the west, and the Bex Nord/A9 connection to the south. The length of motorway for which it is responsible is 317 kilometres. The Thun office monitors cantonal units I (Bern) and III (Valais). Zofingen The Zofingen regional office is responsible for the following cantons: Aargau, Basel-Stadt, Baselland, Solothurn, Lucerne, Zug, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Uri and Schwyz, plus a short stretch in the canton of Ticino (from the Gotthard tunnel to the Airolo connection). Its boundaries are formed by the Dietikon/A1 and Blegi/Küssnacht/A4 connections to the east, the works/maintenance exit at Recherswil (on the A1), the Lengnau/A5 and Brünig/Passhöhe (A8) connections to the west, and the Airolo/A2 connection to the south. The length of motorway for which it is responsible is 435 kilometres. The Zofingen office monitors cantonal units VIII (Aargau, Basel-Stadt, Baselland, Solothurn), X (Lucerne, Zug, Obwalden, Nidwalden) and XI (Uri, Schwyz, Ticino). Major projects that are planned for the future include the widening of the Härkingen-Wiggertal/A1 and A2 section to six lanes, the complete renovation of the Belchen tunnel (A2) and the development of the general project for the widening of the A1 between Luterbach and Härkingen to six lanes. Bellinzona The Bellinzona regional office is responsible for the cantons of Ticino and Grisons. Its boundaries are formed by the Airolo/A2 connection to the south and the Heidiland/A13 motorway service centre to the north. The length of motorway for which it is responsible is 298 kilometres. The Bellinzona office monitors cantonal units IV (Ticino) and V (Grisons). Winterthur The Winterthur regional office is responsible for the following cantons: Zurich, Schaffhausen, St Gall, Thurgau, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Glarus. Its boundaries are formed by the Dietikon/A1 and Blegi/A4 connections to the west and the Heidiland/A13 motorway service centre to the south. The length of motorway for which it is responsible is 423 kilometres. The Winterthur regional office monitors cantonal units VI (Thurgau, St Gall, Glarus, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden) and VII (Zurich, Schaffhausen). Definitions New stretch: New section of motorway constructed in accordance with the parliamentary resolution concerning the motorway network. This includes the actual completion of the network (e.g. A9 in Valais, A16 Jura transversal, A4 canton of Zurich) and any sections subsequently added to the network by Parliament. Expansion: Modification of existing facilities (e.g. noise prevention barriers and environmental protection structures, wildlife corridors, additional lanes, tunnel safety measures, adaptation to new technical specifications and safety standards, modification of motorway connections). Project-based structural maintenance: Comprehensive structural maintenance operations that require project management. High planning requirement and intensity, financial outlay and human resources, e.g. A1 Kriegstetten Oensingen 2006, A2 Erstfeld Amsteg 2005 2007, A12 Vevey Semsales 2006-2007. Non-project-based structural maintenance: Small-scale projects that do not require a comprehensive management structure. Normally concerns maintenance tasks/repairs in response to urgent need for action following damage caused by accidents, storms, etc. Relatively modest financial outlay. Players need to be located in the vicinity of the damage. Work is carried out under the leadership of the respective cantonal unit(s). Operational maintenance: Securing the operation of the motorway network. Normally carried out by personnel from the respective cantonal civil engineering office(s). Activities include maintenance of centre strips and embankments, cleaning, snow and ice clearance, etc. With the reform project, operational maintenance is carried out by the personnel of the 11 cantonal units.

Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft 2006/2007 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft B 7 VIA SICURA ENHANCING ROAD SAFETY IN SWITZERLAND In 2005, 409 people were killed on Switzerland s roads, or 20 percent less than in the previous year. And initial forecasts for 2006 indicate that the number of fatalities will be down again, by around 9 percent. However, the number of serious accidents did not decline in 2006: although there were fewer fatalities, the number of seriously injured road users increased. As before, more than 5,000 people are seriously injured every year on our roads. These figures show that there is not only a need for action, but also that carefully conceived measures can result in increased road safety. For this reason, the Via sicura programme of measures aimed at enhancing road safety in Switzerland is more necessary than ever before. The 56 measures proposed in this programme will bring about a marked improvement in the safety of our roads. Or to put it another way, they will help save lives. The decline in the number of fatalities on Switzerland s roads demonstrates that measures to enhance road safety are effective, regardless whether these take the form of single measures or entire packages as is the case with the Via sicura programme. Experience has shown that a broad range of measures is required in order to significantly enhance road safety. The objectives are clear: our roads need to be constructed so that they forgive driving errors and should only be used by drivers who have received the necessary level of instruction and possess the full physical and mental capacity required to drive a motor vehicle. This means that the following factors need to be influenced: Awareness of social problems Behaviour of road users Safety of motor vehicles and road infrastructure Via sicura will have a positive impact in a variety of ways. It is a fully developed, many-sided and broad-based road safety programme that also offers a favourable cost/benefit ratio. The measures it contains have been proposed and assessed by the country s leading road safety experts. The Swiss Federal Roads Office is to submit its proposals concerning options for the implementation of Via sicura to the Federal Council by spring 2007, and the latter is expected to announce its decision in the course of the year.

The contribution from the cantons during the same period amounted to 8.4 billion Swiss francs (gross).

10 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft ROAD WORKS ON THE MOTORWAY NETWORK Road works are primarily required in order to preserve the substance of the country s motorways (preservation of value) and to ensure that they remain safe to use. Here, ensuring that the road surfaces remain even and offer the necessary degree of grip, and enhancing the level of safety in tunnels, are among the most essential criteria. In addition to the conventional major, longer-term roadwork sites, short-term maintenance and repair works also have to be carried out. Their main purpose is to secure the operational maintenance of the motorway network: activities include maintenance of embankments and greenery, repair of minor surface damage, cleaning of shafts and drainage systems, repair of damage caused by road accidents, etc. Resurfacing of the A2 (Basel-Augst stretch) Major maintenance sites Traffic flow and road safety Major maintenance operations are always carried out without closing the stretch of road concerned. This means that it is essential to ensure traffic and workplace safety during all stages of each maintenance operation, at all times of year, round the clock and in all weather conditions. In addition, traffic volumes are constantly increasing and available space is thus growing increasingly scarce. On the A1 between Bern and St Gall, each section has a daily traffic volume of at least 70,000 vehicles for 4 lanes, while some sections (e.g. Gubrist) have to accommodate peak loads of up to 100,000 vehicles. This means that traffic flows already frequently reach or come close to critical levels under normal conditions, and whenever road conditions change due to maintenance sites (e.g. fewer and/or narrower lanes) and/or reduced speed limits, this inevitably leads to congestion or traffic jams. Extensive roadwork sites Due to the nature of motorways, maintenance and roadwork sites are always extensive, and this results in major logistical demands for operators and contractors. Ensuring the smooth flow of deliveries and removals is extremely demanding, since these can quickly be brought to a standstill: for example, any incidents (accidents, breakdowns, etc.) that occur within the stretch concerned may result in the blockage of all delivery and removal operations. Lane width, noise prevention, protection of the environment The standard cross-sections of many existing motorways, and especially the widths of traffic and emergency lanes, were based on criteria that applied many years or even decades ago. Numerous stretches were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, and are thus too narrow by present-day standards, and this gives rise to problems for road users as well as maintenance contractors. If major alterations are carried out on a section of motorway that was originally constructed thirty years ago and is to be adapted to present-day standards, the space that is available is limited both for the necessary installations and maintenance operations, as well as for road users, and is frequently perceived by motorists as too narrow.

2006/2007 11 A1: Geneva Airport stretch Duration of maintenance work: January 2006 to November 2007. Tasks: renewal of entire infrastructure, including modification to meet new standards (drainage and sewage, road surface, entrance and exit roads, road bridges, pedestrian bridges, lighting, safety installations), modernisation of electro-mechanical systems. The Airport stretch is to be equipped with the same traffic control system that is in use on the remainder of the Geneva bypass. Total costs: approx. 28 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: 3.3 kilometres. Comments: The Geneva Airport stretch was opened in 1986. 2 lanes in each direction will be open to traffic throughout the entire duration of the maintenance operations (exceptions may arise during off-peak periods). Construction work on the two access ramps is to be carried out in 2007. Major operations that require traffic restrictions will be carried out overnight. Additional information: www.autoroute-aeroport.ch Total costs: 85.6 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: 7.8 kilometres. Comments: The section of the A12 motorway between Flamatt and Bümpliz was opened to traffic in 1976/77. The planned overhaul is required in order to ensure that the motorway can continue to be operated safely and efficiently. Modifications to the drainage system are required in order to ensure that it meets the applicable legal provisions relating to the protection of bodies of water. The level of motorway noise is higher in the basin of the Wangen Valley, much of which is densely populated, and in view of this it is necessary to implement noise protection measures. In addition to the renovation of all existing noise prevention barriers and the construction of new ones in Niederwangen, a low-noise surface will also be constructed. Left: Upgrading of the A1 motorway (Geneva Airport) Right: Renovation of the A12 (Vevey-Semsales stretch) A12 motorway: Flamatt-Bümpliz section Duration: April 2007 to October 2008 Tasks: Renewal of road surface; integration of new lownoise surface; renovation of engineering structures; extension of both access roads at Niederwangen (in both directions, i.e. towards Bern and Fribourg); improvement in traffic flow towards city network from Bern-Bümpliz (traffic lights); addition of missing emergency lanes at the Bern- Bümpliz connection (to and from Fribourg); improvement of certain stretches of the emergency lane; complete replacement of traffic control systems; installation of mobile barriers in the centre strip; improved signalling (dynamic system) during periods of congestion at Bümpliz connection and at the Weyermannshaus junction; replacement of existing road signs; adaptation of the drainage systems to the new legal requirements; renewal of electro-mechanical installations; renewal of existing noise prevention barriers, construction of new barriers in Niederwangen. A12: stretch between Vevey and Semsales Duration of maintenance work: March 2006 to September 2007. Tasks: renewal of surface, addition of a service lane (access for maintenance vehicles), modification / replacement of existing drainage systems to meet present-day requirements, modification of fencing to protect wild animals, removal of vegetation from dividing strip, which is to be covered with asphalt. Total costs: 135 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: approx. 12 kilometres. Comments: 2 lanes in each direction will be open to traffic throughout the entire duration of the maintenance operations. Exception: temporary closure of access roads at Vevey junction for renewal of road surface (2 to 3 nights in each case). During construction work, vehicles with a width of more than 2 metres will not be permitted to use the lefthand lane. Additional information: www.sr-vd.ch or www.sar-fr.ch

12 2006/2007 Road works on the motorway network 2007 A16 motorway: section between La Heutte and Biel Nord (category 3 motorway, mixed traffic) Duration: immediate measures from 2007, main tasks from 2009 Tasks: The lighting in the tunnels is to be renewed in 2007 as an immediate measure. Guidance devices are to be installed along the sides of the ramps leading to Bözingerfeld in order to increase the level of safety. The first step will be to remove all forms of human-powered mobility from the A16 by 2009. At the same time the uphill lanes will be renovated so that they can be used for traffic in both directions during the renewal of the downhill lanes. This will be followed by the construction of a tunnel for traffic travelling uphill. Total costs: 60 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: approximately 9 kilometres. Comments: The A16 (La Heutte Biel Nord) is a category 3 motorway that passes through the Taubenloch gorge. It comprises 4 lanes (2 in each direction) and is currently open to all forms of transport, including bicycles, agricultural vehicles, etc. Since the frequency of accidents is relatively high, the aim is to completely separate motorised traffic from non-motorised forms of transport and slow vehicles. At the same time, the existing engineering structures, traffic lanes and tunnels are to be renovated. A2: stretch from Basel to Augst Duration of maintenance work: February 2006 to June 2008 (main tasks to be completed before the start of UEFA Euro 2008). Tasks: renewal of entire surface, repair of engineering structures (especially waterproofing of bridges) and drainage systems, replacement of crash barriers, renewal of markings and road signs, replacement / addition of noise prevention barriers, upgrade of electro-mechanical systems, including installation of a traffic control system, modification of Schweizerhalle gallery (especially ventilation system) to meet the latest tunnel safety requirements. Total costs: approx. 185 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: approx. 12 kilometres. Comments: 3 lanes in each direction will be open to traffic throughout the entire duration of the maintenance operations (exceptions may arise during off-peak periods). For this purpose, auxiliary bridges have been erected at the Hagnau-Gellertdreieck and Augst junctions (each with one additional lane). The stretch concerned, which was opened to traffic 35 years ago, has an average daily traffic volume of 118,000 vehicles (rising to 145,000 during peak periods). Additional information: www.baselaugst.ch Assembly of auxiliary bridge, Augst intersection (October 2005)

Road works on the motorway network 2007 2006/2007 13 A2: stretch between Erstfeld and Amsteg Duration of maintenance work: October 2005 to June 2007. Tasks: renewal of surface with drain asphalt, installation of drainage systems, noise prevention barriers and flood prevention barriers. Total costs: approx. 180 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: approx. 10 kilometres. Comments: The stretch concerned was opened to traffic in the 1970s, and approximately 20,000 vehicles use this transit axis every day (or up to 46,000 on peak days). 2 lanes will be open to southbound traffic throughout the entire duration of the maintenance operations, but only 1 lane will be open to northbound traffic. During the peak summer periods, work will be interrupted and all four lanes will be opened to traffic. Planners do not anticipate any delays to southbound traffic other than the usual congestion that occurs on holiday weekends (Easter, Ascension Day, Whitsun), but northbound traffic is expected to be subject to traffic jams, especially on Sunday afternoons in May and June 2006. Additional information: www.uri-a2.ch A5: stretch between Cornaux and La Neuveville East Duration of maintenance work: March 2006 to February 2008. Tasks: renewal of surface with special low-noise asphalt with drainage properties, construction of noise prevention barriers, renovation of bridges, construction of a crash barrier to separate lanes on expressway, renovation of sewage and drainage systems. Total costs: 139 million Swiss francs. Length of stretch concerned: 12 kilometres. Comments: 1 lane in each direction will be open to traffic (= two-way traffic) throughout the duration of the maintenance operations.

Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft 2006/2007 23 TUNNEL SAFETY Enhancing tunnel safety was an important duty of the Swiss Federal Roads Office long before the occurrence of the disastrous fires in the Mont Blanc, Tauern and Gotthard tunnels. 700 million Swiss francs for making our road tunnels safer Belchen tunnel: installation of a ventilator near the northern entrance (December 2002) Following the fire that occurred in the Gotthard tunnel on 24 October 2001, all motorway tunnels with a length of over 600 metres were inspected, and immediate measures were implemented (signalling systems, guidance facilities, lighting) as necessary. Since then, the Swiss Federal Roads Office has invested around 50 million Swiss francs a year in efforts to enhance tunnel safety, in addition to its spending on normal tunnel maintenance. The new guidelines of the Swiss Federal Roads Office which describe the safety installations that are required in tunnels entered into effect on 1 October 2004. These standards and guidelines apply to new tunnels as well as to the maintenance and renovation of existing ones so that they subsequently comply with the new requirements. The Swiss Federal Roads Office is anxious to upgrade the safety installations in older tunnels within the scope of available funding. In the period from 2005 to 2012, it will be investing around 700 million Swiss francs to enhance the level of safety in motorway tunnels. Here it is attaching the highest priority to the adaptation of signalling and guidance systems, followed by modifications of ventilation systems and the implementation of structural measures such as safety shafts. Another measure that is being implemented in line with the proposal put forward by the Tunnels Task Force in its final report published in 2000 concerns the construction of an exercise facility for emergency crews in Balsthal and Lungern. The federal government is to contribute approximately 30 million Swiss francs towards this project. All involved emergency services will be able to practice their procedures for dealing with tunnel fires under realistic conditions. This organisational element completes the overall package of measures to be implemented in motorway tunnels and will enhance the safety of emergency crews as well as road users. It is expected to be ready for operation in 2009.

24 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft MOTORWAY SERVICE STATIONS There are currently 34 service stations on Switzerland s motorway network, offering travellers a place to rest for a while, have something to eat or drink, or fill up with petrol. 9 of these service stations also provide drivers with the opportunity of crossing to the other side of the motorway so that they can proceed in the opposite direction, while at a further 7 it is possible for people to cross over on foot.

The statistics obtained from measuring stations, together with the management of a consistent and recognised database, form the basis for road, transport and environment planning for the federal government, the cantons, and regional and municipal authorities. The ordinance attached to the Swiss Federal Statistics Act dated 30 June 1993 forms the necessary legal basis.

Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft 2006/2007 29 TRAFFIC VOLUME ON THE NORTH-SOUTH TRANSIT AXES Statistics for 2006 In 2006, the number of heavy goods vehicles passing through the Alps fell again by 23,850 to 1,180,390, which represents a decrease of 2 percent. Transit traffic was affected by the rock fall that occurred on 31 May 2006 on the A2 near Gurtnellen, as a result of which the Gotthard route had to be closed until 29 June and traffic had to be diverted to the other transalpine routes. The largest proportion of diverted traffic was absorbed by the San Bernardino route. In 2006, the overall volume of traffic on the north-south transit axis rose slightly versus 2005: the mean daily traffic volume for the full year surpassed the threshold of 25,000 vehicles again for the first time since 2001.

30 2006/2007 Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft TRAFFIC FLOW ON SWITZERLAND S MOTORWAYS IN 2005 Statistics for 2005 In 2005, the traffic volume on Switzerland s motorways increased by 1.4 percent versus the prior year. This increase was below the longterm average. The 255 automatic traffic counting stations operated by the Swiss Federal Roads Office recorded around 6,452,000 vehicles per day on Switzerland s overall road network. This represents an increase of 1 percent (taking all road categories into account). The traffic volume increased by 1.4 percent on the motorway network, while on the country s main roads it fell by 0.4 percent. Traffic growth in 2005 These figures are well below the long-term growth rates. By way of comparison: the long-term average growth rate for all roads is 1.8 percent, and is 2.6 percent for motorways and 0.8 percent for main roads. Sections with above-average traffic growth Traffic growth exceeded 3.5 percent on the Zurich East-Winterthur (A1), Augst-Birrfeld (A3), and Luterbach-Bözingerfeld (A5) sections, and on the A5 in the vicinity of Neuchâtel.

Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft 2006/2007 31 TRAFFIC JAMS ON SWITZERLAND S MOTORWAYS Statistics for 2005 The total number of hours of traffic jams was 220 higher in 2005 than in 2004 (an increase by 2 percent). The increase was particularly pronounced on the A3 (+32 percent), while the flow of traffic on the A1 improved considerably (12 percent reduction in traffic jam hours).

32 2006/2007 Traffic jams on Switzerland s motorways Main causes of traffic jams in 2005 In 2005 it was once again congestion that was the main cause of traffic jams (62 percent of all occurrences), though the positive trend that has been observed over the past few years persisted in the year under review. The number of hours attributable to congestion fell by 4.4 percent from 7,151 to 6,835. The picture with respect to road works was very different: here, the number of hours of traffic jams rose sharply. A total of 2,574 hours were recorded that were attributable to road works, which represents an increase of around 32 percent. This was largely attributable to the renovation of the Glion tunnel on the A9 and the repairs to the Arisdorf tunnel on the A2. It is pleasing to note that the number of hours attributable to accidents continues to fall (by a further 4.1 percent, from 1,574 to 1,510). Main trouble spots The overall number of hours of traffic jams at the traditional trouble spots fell by 18 percent versus the prior year. The only increase that was recorded was on the Zurich-Winterthur northern bypass (plus 1.6 percent), while the figures at all the other notorious spots were considerably lower in 2005. The sharpest decline (38.1 percent) was recorded in the vicinity of the Baregg tunnel. The figures were also significantly lower at the Gotthard tunnel, namely by minus 29.6 percent at the northern portal and minus 24.5 percent at the southern end.

Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft 2006/2007 37 NEW LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING ROAD TRAFFIC A variety of amendments to road traffic legislation are to be introduced in the course of 2007. On 1 January 2007 the new international regulations governing the carriage of dangerous goods entered into effect. Furthermore, all new buses and heavy goods vehicles that are brought into circulation now have to be equipped with a digital tacograph. As of 1 February 2007, insurance certificates required for the registration of new motor vehicles can be submitted in electronic form. From now on, all cases of withdrawal, non-recognition and refusal of driving licences will be registered in the ADMAS (administrative measures) database and retained there for a period of ten years. The European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), which was signed by Switzerland in 1972, was revised as of the beginning of 2007. A new standardised system of road signalling has been introduced, which is to be used for restricting the carriage of dangerous goods through tunnels. But since this system fails to take account of the specific conditions in the region of the Alps, is likely to lower the level of road safety and results in a considerable increase in costs, transport minister Moritz Leuenberger formally notified the UN that Switzerland is opposed to this amendment. The new regulation is nonetheless binding for Switzerland, since its rejection of the amendment did not receive sufficient support from other signatory states of the ADR at least five states would have had to declare their opposition to the new regulation. Since the ADR is an international set of regulations that, viewed overall, guarantees the ongoing development of road safety and corresponds to the interests of Switzerland s economy, the federal government is not considering taking the step of terminating it. The impacts of the new regulation depend largely on how it is implemented. As before, the responsibility for defining the methodology for assessing the degree of risk for each road tunnel and for the specification of operational measures (e.g. permissible time frames, escort requirements) for the carriage of dangerous goods through tunnels, remains in the hands of each individual government. In this way it is possible to ensure that the present-day standard of safety can be maintained, though additional costs have to be anticipated for both the state and the economy. The existing signalling system has to be replaced by the end of 2009. Introduction of electronic insurance certificates Electronic insurance certificates simplify the exchange of data between motor vehicle insurers, the cantonal registration authorities and the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). In future, the procedures for registering motor vehicles and withdrawing them from circulation will be processed electronically via the new, central MOFIS database (for motor vehicles and their holders) operated by FEDRO. The introduction of electronic insurance certificates has been effected at the request of the cantonal registration authorities and the Swiss Insurance Association. Over the long term, this move will give rise to a significant increase in efficiency and quality on the part of insurers and the relevant authorities, as well to a reduction of costs relating to vehicle registration. All road traffic authorities will have to be connected online directly to the MOFIS database operated by the Swiss Federal Roads Office, and this process, which was set in motion in 2005, is expected to be completed by the end of 2008. At the end of this period of transition, insurance certificates in paper form will be done away with altogether. Simplification of vehicle homologation procedure Swiss homologation certificates are no longer required for vehicles with a European (EU) homologation certificate. Instead, a data sheet will be used that contains the information required for the approval and inspection of motor vehicles. In Switzerland, conformity certificates issued by the official inspection authorities are sufficient for the approval of vehicle components and modifications.

38 2006/2007 New legal provisions governing road traffic ADMAS data to be kept for 10 years from now on All cases of withdrawal, non-recognition and refusal of driving licences will be registered in the federal government s ADMAS (administrative measures) database and retained there for a period of ten years, in accordance with a corresponding resolution by the Federal Council. This measure has been introduced at the request of the cantonal authorities and will make an additional contribution towards the enhancement of road safety. Other administrative measures such as official warnings will be retained in the database for five years as before. Introduction of digital tacographs As of 1 January 2007, new buses and heavy goods vehicles that are brought into circulation, and for which the drivers are subject to regulations governing working hours and rest periods, must be equipped with a digital tacograph. With this move, Switzerland is bringing itself into line with the EU, which is also introducing this new requirement. Digital tacographs are an electronic device that replaces the former (analogue) driver s logbook. It is designed to record, save, display and print out data relating to the activities of the driver and movements of the vehicle. Digital tacographs permit the more accurate and faster evaluation of data, and are considerably more difficult to manipulate. They make the control tasks of the relevant enforcement authorities more efficient, promote the protection of employees and thus ultimately enhance the overall level of road safety. The introduction of digital tacographs does not alter the applicable regulations governing working hours and rest periods. Specimen driver s card for digital tacograph
