Horseshoe traffic

The horseshoe traffic is a special form of transit traffic . Here, the traffic between two locations in a national territory is routed through a foreign national territory in order to take advantage of routes that are more favorable in terms of traffic or economy.

The term is derived from the frequently occurring routing, with the border crossings at both ends of the horseshoe . However, straight connections are also called this. Here, however, the detour through your own area would be more like a horseshoe.

If the journey is interrupted for loading or unloading or to get on or off the transit route, this is swap traffic .

Examples:

• A meandering river course alternates between neighboring state areas, since the border does not follow the course of the river.
• A land connection (road, rail line) follows a valley shared by neighboring countries.
• The route is shortened via a neighboring state:
  Bundesstrasse 34 (D) / Hauptstrasse 13 (CH) from Singen (Hohentwiel) (D) to Waldshut-Tiengen (D) via Schaffhausen (CH).
• Utilization of better traffic routes of the neighboring state:
  Great German Corner : from Salzburg via Rosenheim to Kufstein or Small German Corner from Salzburg via Bad Reichenhall to Lofer .
