Basel mobility
In the Basel region, getting to work means dealing with roadworks, closures, public transport and, where there is a border, waiting times at the crossings. This page brings together current restrictions, measured waiting times and our articles on traffic and transport.
The area borders Germany and France: for those who cross the border every day, the rules and prices on both sides matter. Official sources publish in German and French; data, notices and articles are collected here and updated when they change.
