Analysis

Bern, the federal capital, has a relatively stable traffic profile. Major bottlenecks include the Felsenau viaduct, motorway interchange and Kirchenfeldbrücke. Institutional traffic from parliament and federal administrations adds pressure during legislative sessions. The figure held steady year-on-year.
