commercial traffic

Freight and deliveries

Commercial traffic refers to vehicles, vessels, or aircraft engaged in business activities—transporting goods, passengers, or services for profit.

It contrasts with private or recreational traffic: Commercial traffic clogs the port during harvest season.

The term also applies to business-related data flow on networks or foot traffic in retail areas: The mall sees heavy commercial traffic on weekends.
