Will driving in Switzerland require high driving skills? I usually drive to and from work in Beijing and have never been on mountain roads. Are the traffic conditions in Switzerland, such as in cities like Zurich and Geneva, very complex? Are the roads between cities easy to drive on? I would appreciate it if the gods could reply to me. Thank you ?

As long as you follow the traffic rules, driving in Europe is very good. For those coming from China, pay attention to the following at the beginning: do not occupy the inner lane (overtaking lane, the inner lane of the two-lane road is the overtaking lane) for a long time; the rules for entering and exiting roundabouts, turning on the lights when entering and exiting; stop sign must be stopped and observed before passing. Other than that, there's not much else. Switzerland should be easier to drive than Italy, without so many narrow alleys in the old town, so there's no need to worry.
Switzerland drives according to the rules and the traffic situation is very good. However, some mountain roads are one-lane, with many sharp turns, and the cars are driven very fast, so good driving skills are needed.
The road conditions in the city are similar to those in the country. Pay attention to not crossing solid lines and merging lanes. There are also yellow bike lanes between lanes. There are many mountain roads outside the city, with many hairpin turns. The locals drive fast, so if you feel that your driving skills are not good, it's better to let someone else drive.
