A motion by FDP parliamentarian Peter Schilliger prompted tougher conditions for 30 km/h limits on main roads.

Over 600 cities and towns resist federal plans restricting their authority to set speed limits locally.

Conflicts in Sargans, Küsnacht, and Zurich intensify through legal and administrative challenges over speed zones.

Zurich cites over 700 accidents in five years near the main station to justify the 30 km/h zones.

The left-green wants to ban cars from the cities.
