Swiss Traffic Lights: Signals and Special Phases frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions learners have about practising Swiss Traffic Lights: Signals and Special Phases. This section highlights what is tested, how practice helps, and how to improve your results for the Swiss driving theory exam in Switzerland.

How do Swiss traffic lights differ from other countries, and how is this tested in the theory exam?

Switzerland uses a red-amber phase before green, which is a key topic in the theory exam. This category covers this and other unique aspects, like the 'green arrow' (grüner Pfeil / flèche verte) for right turns, ensuring you're prepared for exam questions on these specific rules.

What does an amber light mean in Switzerland, and when should I stop?

In Switzerland, an amber light means you must stop unless you are so close to the stop line that stopping safely is impossible. This rule is frequently tested in the driving theory exam, and our practice questions will help you master it.

How should I react when traffic lights are not working?

When traffic lights are dark or malfunctioning, you must treat the junction as an unmarked intersection. In Switzerland, this usually means applying the 'rechts vor links' (priority to the right) rule, unless other signs dictate otherwise. This scenario is often part of the theory test.

What are the specific rules for cyclists and trams at Swiss traffic lights?

Urban intersections in Switzerland often have dedicated signal phases for cyclists and trams. Understanding these special phases is important for the driving theory exam, as questions may arise about how to interact safely with these road users.

What is the 'green arrow' (grüner Pfeil / flèche verte) at Swiss intersections?

The green arrow, or 'grüner Pfeil' / 'flèche verte', at some Swiss intersections allows drivers to turn right on red, provided they yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. You must only proceed if it is safe to do so. This specific rule is crucial for the theory exam.
