Due to a lack of gasoline, speed limits are being imposed. Politicians are considering it, drivers are clear.

The ongoing war in Iran is causing fuel prices to rise, prompting Swiss authorities to consider reducing highway speed limits to conserve fuel. The proposed measure would lower the maximum speed from 120 km/h to 80 km/h as a response to potential fuel shortages. This situation is exacerbated by low water levels in the Rhine, affecting fuel transport. While the Swiss government has not yet approved the speed limit reduction, public opinion is divided, with some supporting it as a necessary measure. Similar fuel-saving measures are being implemented across Europe, including in Germany and the Czech Republic.
