- White zones; you can park free. Very rare..
- Blue zones(parking with blue lines); you can park here for a limited time. There should be a sign in the street which tells you for how many hours. You need the blue disc for this parking, which should show your arrival time. Mostly after 6 pm till 9 am, you can park aslong as you want. Often these rules also apply in the weekend.
- For blue zones you can request a parkingpermit. Do realise; often more permits are handed out then there are available parking spots.
The fines:
Parking outside a valid parking spot: 120 CHF, after getting to know your car they will sometimes give you a 40 CHF fine. Very generous ;)
Parking time expired in blue zone: 40 CHF
The parking officers in Switzerland are among the most highly motivated employees in the world. Never bet on getting lucky.
