Switzerland (German: Schweiz; French: Suisse; Italian: Svizzera) is a landlocked country in Western Europe featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Summary
The country is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is famous for its location in the Alps scenery, and hence curvy roads and tunnels. Switzerland, along with Norway, Russia, Turkey, United Kingdom, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is one of the eleven non-EU countries featured in ETS 2 (without the DLCs, Switzerland is one of two non-EU countries, the other being the United Kingdom.). Switzerland and Norway are members of the Schengen Area, meaning there is no border control when entering or leaving the country.
On September 6, 2022, SCS announced that they will plan to rework Switzerland, after rework of Austria.[1] Meet the team who's designing the Switzerland rework from the Switzerland Rework - Meet The Team blog post.

|---|---|---|---|
 Geneve - Zurich |
 A3 (Swiss) - A4 (Italy) |
 Zurich - A35 |
 A81 (Germany) - A1 |
In particular, only one Autobahn crosses the Alps towards Italy, with the other two Alps-crossing roads being minor roads. There are also minor roads connecting France and Austria, while the only featured access into Germany is an Autobahn.
Switzerland imposes only two main speed limits for trucks. Excluding special speed restrictions at places such as road work sites, trucks are limited to 50 km/h (31 mph) in cities, and 80 km/h (50 mph) elsewhere.
