CONGESTION RECORD ON SWISS ROADS IN 2022 – ARE THERE COURIER SERVICES THAT CAN
BYPASS TRAFFIC JAMS?

An unpleasant record was set in 2022, with 39,863 hours of congestion. The main
reason for traffic jams is not accidents or construction sites, but that the
Swiss roads are simply overloaded. The heavy congestion leads to express
deliveries of urgently needed goods, such as laboratory samples or spare parts,
being delayed. Do you know if there is a courier service that can bypass traffic
jams and deliver in record time?
SWISS ROADS ARE OVERLOADED
The number of hours of congestion on the national road network has been steadily
increasing since the survey, with the only exception being the drop in 2020 due
to the pandemic. According to the statistics for May 2023 from the Swiss Federal
Roads Office (ASTRA), more than 85% of congestion is due to the roads being
overloaded; the national road network simply reaches its limits due to there
being just too many cars on the road. A look at the map of Switzerland shows
where the national roads are most overloaded, or where congestion occurs most
often. In 2022, cars in Switzerland were stuck in gridlocked traffic for 39,863
hours – this is a new record and comes with high costs: the Federal Office for
Spatial Development (ARE) estimates the economic consequences of congestion at
over 3 billion Swiss francs.

EFFECTS OF CONGESTION ON EXPRESS DELIVERIES
If urgently needed goods are transported by road, car couriers get stuck in
traffic and cannot predict how late they will arrive at their destination. This
is not only annoying, but also expensive and harmful to the environment. Express
transport by car takes longer, more fuel is consumed, more emissions (CO2,
noise, etc.) are generated, and the courier's working hours increase. That's why
smart companies rely on swissconnect – the only courier service that can bypass
traffic jams and deliver faster.

DELIVERIES IN RECORD TIME THAT WON'T GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC
The basis of swissconnect's unique transport system is the specially developed
logistics software that determines the best means of transport. In cities, this
is a bike or cargo bike. The goods (laboratory samples, spare parts, etc.) are
transported in a locked train compartment for the longer distances between the
cities. In remote regions, a car courier is used to unload urgent deliveries
from the train and take them to the recipient individually. Trained personnel
coordinate and monitor every single express delivery. The swissconnect transport
system has been enabling the fastest and most sustainable deliveries throughout
Switzerland since 1999. To find out which companies have been using the fastest
and most sustainable courier service for many years, click HERE.
Thanks to the clever combination of different means of transport, your express
deliveries reach their destination faster than by conventional means of
transport.
