Roads and highways will be classified as (i) local, or (ii) cantonal or (iii) Federal.
The Federation shall remain the manager and controller of the Federal motorways (but not the owner thereof). This ownership shall be inalienable. The canton shall remain the owner of the cantonal motorways. This ownership shall be inalienable.
Inter-cantonal motorways are considered Federal only at their last kilometer or before the last intersection or exit. Intra-cantonal motorways are considered cantonal.
The administration of the Federal or cantonal motorways shall be a matter for the Federal or cantonal administrative authorities respectively.
The Federation or the canton may make use of a company under private law to discharge its responsibilities.
The cantons, or such corporate bodies as are competent under cantonal law, shall administer the roads on federal commission.
At the request of a canton, the Federation may assume administrative responsibility for the cantonal roads insofar as they lie within the territory of that canton.
