4. What is a Potential Traffic Disruption? Traffic disruptions are events, either planned or unplanned, that will likely impact travel on a roadway within Washington State. For example, roadway construction projects and special events like Bumbershoot are known events for which we can anticipate the traffic impacts that will result. These events are not just on State Roads. Cities and Counties have their own PTDs and they can all be affected.
