Idaho Labor Day Weekend Road Recap

What Idaho's department of transportation (DOT) feed showed from Thursday, Sept. 3 through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7, 2026. Part of the national Labor Day Weekend Road Recap.

How we got these numbers: MileCheck saves every state department of transportation (DOT) road alert as it's published. We counted what was on Idaho's feed from Sept. 3 through Sept. 7. Not all states report the same data. Fire figures are as of Labor Day, Sept. 7, 4:50 PM Pacific. Idaho crash reports were not in MileCheck's feed for this window.
