Cross-border traffic serves the movement of goods, people, and services within a border region between adjacent countries. It typically arises from locally rooted economic activity and regional supply networks that depend on geographic proximity – such as deliveries from manufacturing sites in one country to consumers across the border, or cross-border commuting. The flow is shaped by regional factors including different customs regimes, infrastructure standards, and bilateral transport agreements.
