The Federal Council has decided on further measures to combat traffic diversion along the freeways in the Alpine region. For example, it will have temporary closures of junctions on the A2 southbound analyzed and tested in greater depth.
The Federal Council also believes that cantonal roads should also be adapted to protect villages along busy freeways. This could be done, for example, with metering systems in front of village entrances. This was announced by the federal government on Wednesday.
The Federal Council also recommends "further intensifying" automated exit metering at junctions on the A2 through the canton of Uri and the A13 via the San Bernardino tunnel, as it writes. Today, individual exits are controlled manually by the police or traffic services.
However, the state government does not want to hear about tunnel fees or a slot management system for tunnels. This means that road users could drive through at a certain time and would have to register.
