Overview
- Automated cameras enforce a 15‑minute minimum stay, issuing 100 CHF fines to drivers who leave the municipality sooner.
- Since mid‑September roughly 1,000 daily violations have been logged, yielding about 100,000 CHF per day after an initial rollout.
- The municipality initially expected about 15 cases per day, leading to administrative strain, added staff and long service counter waits.
- The Touring Club Schweiz faults insufficient signage and reports many penalized members, and it has announced legal action to challenge the scheme.
- Legal scholars question constitutionality and privacy and advise the town not to spend proceeds, as navigation apps still route drivers through Birsfelden.
