Traffic in Basel
Car parks, charging stations and current roadworks on one map — toggle layers with a click.
Basel sits at one of Europe’s busiest crossings: the A2 and A3 motorways meet here, along with three national borders and Switzerland’s largest inland port. Daily commuters know the pinch points — the Gotthard feeder, the eastern bypass section and the customs crossings in the morning and early evening.
This page shows the current situation: roadworks and closures from cantonal data, plus traffic reports. It is worth comparing modes — within the city the tram is almost always faster than the car at peak times, and anyone crossing the border gets past every queue by bike.
For flowing traffic on the national motorways around Basel there is currently no open real-time data source that we embed directly. The TCS shows the current traffic situation:
