Abstract: Summary The paper reports laboratory experiments on a day-to-day route choice game with two routes and alternating construction areas on both routes. Subjects had to choose between a main road M and a side road S. The capacity was in every period greater for the main road. 18 subjects participated in each session. In periods without construction areas the equilibrium is 12 players on M and 6 players on S. In periods with construction areas on M the equilibrium is 10 players on M and 8 players on S. In periods with construction areas on S the equilibrium is 15 players on M and 3 players on S. Two treatments with 6 sessions each were run at the Laboratory of Experimental Economics at Bonn University. Feedback was given in treatment I only about own travel time and in treatment II on travel time for M and S. Money payoffs increase with decreasing time. Subjects are told that in each of 200 periods they have to make a choice between the two routes.
