The speed limit is 50. A lot of the time they will be going 30 or slower, especially around busy intersections and crossings.

I don't know about Switzerland currently, but there are also often a lot of trackworks going on that they need to slow down for because previous governments somehow got away with neglecting them since around the early 2000s.

”Previous Government” is a bit of a weird fit in Swiss context seeing as the same permanent grand coalition with the four largest parties have been forming the Swiss federal government since the 1950s.
