Summary
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.[1]
Often, additional border crossing points are created to carry only local border traffic.
European Union edit
The European Union rules on local border traffic were established by Regulation (EC) No 1931/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006.[2]
Former Yugoslavia edit
Of the former Communist states, citizens of Yugoslavia enjoyed a significant freedom of international movement. In 1960, local border traffic on the Yugoslavia — Italy border in Istria registered almost seven million crossings in both directions.[3] In 1977 Yugoslavia had 55 local border traffic agreements with the neighboring countries, including 7 with Italy, 11 with Austria, 8 with Hungary, 10 with Romania, 8 with Bulgaria, 5 with Greece.[4]
