Warm weather and increased recreational travel to Idaho’s mountain destinations, especially on Sundays, has resulted in longer-than-usual waits at the busy State Highway 55 and Banks-Lowman Road intersection in Banks. Flagging will begin this holiday weekend to reduce wait times.
ITD will flag traffic on the weekends and holidays expected to have the highest number of travelers due to local events.
- Father’s Day
- First Sunday in July
- Independence Day
- Second Sunday in July
- Third Sunday in July
- Fourth Sunday in July
- Fifth Sunday in July
- First Sunday in August

These weekends were selected in cooperation with a working group involving Boise and Valley County community members.
Drivers should plan ahead for any road trip by checking 511.idaho.gov for the latest road conditions, and itdprojects.org for road construction work happening across the state. ITD asks drivers to please do your part to keep roads safe and prevent crashes. Slow down, drive engaged, and always buckle up.
