Cross-border traffic of residents of a border area

Local border traffic
Summary

Cross-border traffic of residents of a border area

A 1928 small border traffic permit for travel between the [[Free State of Saxony]] and [[Czechoslovakia]]

The local border traffic or small border traffic is cross-border traffic of residents of a border area. In many cases local border traffic is subject to bilateral regulation aimed at the simplification of border crossing for these residents.

Often, additional border crossing points are created to carry only local border traffic.
