A52 motorway (Switzerland)

The A52 is a main road (German: Autostrasse) (American English: Expressway) connecting Zumikon in the canton of Zürich with Hinwil and Rapperswil-Jona in the canton of St. Gallen.

It passes through Zumikon and Forch before heading for Egg, Esslingen and finally Hinwil.

An Autostrasse is the Swiss equivalent of a major rural British "A" road.

Portions of the road are nearly like a motorway or American expressway (without the central reservation) with very short entrance and exit sliproads (ramps), with two lanes going in each direction, making it four in all.

It runs in a southeast-to-east direction before the Hinwil crossing, continuing south toward Rapperswil after the intersection.
