Chokepoint traffic: week 43 of 2025

6 of 27 chokepoints with a full week were below normal. We track 28 in total.

Normal is the median daily count over the 84 published days to the week’s last day. If a disruption has pulled that median below half of the route’s usual traffic, normal is the highest median of any 14 days in a row in the 730 days to that day.
