No understand section?
[edit]Being originally a "spinoff" from the main Switzerland article, it does not currently have an "understand" section. Should one be written? Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:56, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Does this have to be "outline" still? Hobbitschuster (talk) 17:05, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
"motorways and expressways (often with oncoming traffic)"
[edit]What are the differences between motorways and expressways? Are expressways just undivided motorways or are they the equivalent of divided highways but with at-grade junctions (which is the NZ meaning of expressway)? I think it should be more clearly mentioned. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 12:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Per w:Motorways of Switzerland, I see that the speed limits are also lower on expressways. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 12:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly it's not uncommon in Switzerland and Alpine countries in general with undivided highways with one lane in each direction but grade-separated crossings, likely because of the terrain. --Ypsilon (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- So is it synonymous with a two-lane freeway? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:40, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
