Switzerland charges a fee for the use of motorways (green
road signs). The vignette, which is a sticker applied
to inside of the windscreen, costs a flat-rate price
and is mandatory for motor vehicles. Vignettes can be
purchased at customs offices at most border entries.
also obtainable at post offices, petrol stations, automobile
associations and railway stations. They are valid from
