Tips to cross faster

Every crossing has its own pattern, so check the hourly chart and the weekday table on each crossing page. If you qualify, SENTRI (Mexican border), NEXUS (Canadian border) and Ready Lane are often much faster than the General lane. Always check the live time before you leave, because incidents or extra inspections can change the wait quickly.
