Switzerland's Green Party wants to cut motorway speeds from 120km/h to 80km/h to save fuel, recalling the temporary limits of the 1973 oil crisis. The Swiss People's Party counters with a proposal to raise the limit to 130km/h to improve traffic flow, sparking a debate between environmental goals and transport efficiency.
Liza Mazzone, leader of the Green Party, has introduced a bill to lower the maximum speed limit on Swiss motorways from 120 km/h to 80 km/h. The main goal is to reduce fuel consumption and save energy, especially amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Mazzone emphasized that such a measure is not unprecedented, referring to similar actions taken during the 1973 oil crisis.
The Swiss People's Party (SVP) has presented a contrary proposal, calling for raising the motorway speed limit to 130 km/h. According to the SVP, such an increase would improve traffic flow and increase travel efficiency for citizens, offering greater freedom in transport.
The sharp contrast between the two approaches has sparked a new debate in Switzerland, pitting environmental protection and energy savings against calls for greater freedom and efficiency in transport. The discussion is expected to continue in the coming weeks, as public opinion and institutions will need to find a balance between these interests.
