Building lines for motorways
This dataset provides the location and authorisation status of building lines established along motorways in Switzerland. Building lines regulate how close structures may be built to the road, serving road safety requirements and living conditions for nearby residents, while also preserving space for potential future motorway extensions. Published by the Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) under the Swiss Confederation, the data supports spatial planning and construction authorisation processes at the national level, providing a geospatial reference for authorities, planners, and developers working near motorway corridors.The dataset of building lines for motorways contains information about the location and authorisation status of building lines along motorways. Building lines meet the needs of road safety and living conditions, and document the requirements of any future extension to the road.
