| That information came from Zurich's Stadtpolizei in a newspaper article. Their representative stated that the 3km/h limit was from the Bund, and they weren't happy about it either (yeah right!). If it is done differently in another canton that doesn't necessarily mean that the limit doesn't come from the bund, it could simply mean that they are choosing (probably illegally) to ignore it. But look at it this way - it's better for you if you live there.

Basically Bern decides what the MINIMUM tolerance allowable for a particular speed measuring instrument, based on its accuracy variations. Amphometers (sensors in the road) and doppler radar have lower accuracy than laser.
In effect, Zürich, in their quest to fill their coffers, have elected the 3km/h minimum set by Bern. Appenzell (which I see as the swiss equivalent to Texas), have deemed such draconian measures might upset or confuse the simple folk and have stuck with the 5km/h tolerance given to older devices.
As far as locations go, the Twixtel Route has cameras marked on all their updates.
Another thing to keep an eye on is your Emission control. Mine ran out in July because I was too busy with work to get my car to the garage. Then I had some friends from home visit and we went for a casino night. Apart from doing my *ss on Black Jack, on the way home I got pulled in for a check. As soon as I got waved in I said to my mate "I'm done, I will get a ticket". Fortunately I played "Dumb ignorant aussie" and it worked. I got a warning, I had 5 days to get it fixed to escape the fine, which I did. The fines for that can also be pretty expensive.
