The local border traffic or small border traffic is cross-border traffic of residents of a border area. In many cases local border traffic is subject to bilateral regulation aimed at the simplification of border crossing for these residents.[1]
Often, additional border crossing points are created to carry only local border traffic.
Brexit and Northern Ireland
[edit]
The UK left the EU following Brexit. The open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland created a problem of a porous external EU border. Article 3 of the Northern Ireland Protocol retained the Common Travel Area for citizens of the UK to enter the EU via Ireland freely.[2][3]
European Union
[edit]The European Union rules on local border traffic were established by Regulation (EC) No 1931/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006.[4]
Former Yugoslavia
[edit]Of the former Communist states, citizens of Yugoslavia enjoyed a significant freedom of international movement. In 1960, local border traffic on the Yugoslavia — Italy border in Istria registered almost seven million crossings in both directions.[5] In 1977 Yugoslavia had 55 local border traffic agreements with the neighboring countries, including 7 with Italy, 11 with Austria, 8 with Hungary, 10 with Romania, 8 with Bulgaria, 5 with Greece.[6]
