Chokepoint traffic: week 10 of 2026

Monday Mar 2, 2026 to Sunday Mar 8, 2026 (UTC)

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

Daily counts are published a few days late. Latest published day: Nov 8, 2026, 5 days ago.

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.
