SloveniaSwitzerland plans to introduce a new dynamic toll system for transit traffic, known as 'tranzitna pristojbina,' which will vary based on traffic conditions. The fee would apply to vehicles passing through the country without stopping, in addition to the existing vignette. This measure aims to address chronic traffic congestion on major north-south routes across the Alps, particularly around the Gotthard road tunnel, where long queues during holidays and summer vacations burden surrounding villages and local roads. The implementation requires significant technical upgrades at Swiss borders, including installing high-tech cameras at approximately 692 border crossings to monitor vehicle movement. Unlike fixed tolls seen elsewhere in Europe, this system would adjust fees dynamically—higher during peak times such as weekends, holidays, or tourist seasons. Proposed rates range between 80–100 Swiss francs (~€86–€107) during the busiest days, though exact figures remain to be finalized. The plan includes exemptions to avoid negatively impacting domestic tourism and the economy.
