Reach thousands of border travelers who check wait times every day. Your brand, right where they decide.
Plan your trip to the United States from Mexico or Canada with official information.
Our border crossing report is updated every 10 minutes using official CBP data. This ensures not only that we provide real-time information on line conditions at border crossings and international bridges, but also that our data comes from a reliable source.
We also maintain various Facebook groups to enrich our reports with information provided by the community. We invite you to join and check these groups so we can collectively improve the data we present.
For Tijuana, you can find us on Facebook under "Como está la línea (Garitas Tijuana)," as well as groups for Mexicali, Nogales, San Luis, and Algodones. We will soon launch new groups to further enhance our coverage of wait times at border crossings and international bridges between Mexico and the United States.
We provide details such as border crossing operating hours, available lanes, and information for pedestrian, vehicle, and commercial traffic. Each crossing page also includes a Q&A section covering key information about the city, bridge, and crossing point. This is designed for those who want more than just current line status—offering crossing tips and relevant details, such as local tourism guides.
We invite you to explore the FAQ sections on each page so we can provide you with the best information on border crossing traffic and international bridge crossing reports.
On the Mexican side, Nogales, Tijuana, and Mexicali are some of the most consulted traffic reports and checkpoints. While on the Canadian side, Peace Bridge, Peace Arch, and Blaine checkpoints are popular with reporting visits.
The information also varies depending on the crossing, since in Tijuana the ports of San Ysidro and Otay are very popular, and users search for a direct crossing to find out how the line is at the border.
On our website, Bordergarita.com, you can find the most popular information regarding line conditions at international border crossings and bridges—both from the Mexican side and at crossings from Canada into the United States. Our portal features multiple sections providing official government information from CBP, as well as citizen-reported data on crossing and wait times.
The most sought-after international bridges in Mexico for crossing into the United States are those located in Piedras Negras, Reynosa, Matamoros, and Nuevo Laredo. Each of the reports we provide contains data for the respective port, including traffic updates, line or queue wait times, and operating hours.
For the Canada side of the border heading toward the United States, there are several international bridges used daily by both international tourists and those involved in cross-border work. Bridges such as the Ogdensburg-Prescott, Cornwall Seaway, and Sault Ste. Marie are among those most frequently searched for by users. You can find relevant information for each of them on our website, bordergarita.com.
We constantly update our traffic and border crossing reports on our website, bordergarita.com, and share relevant information about crossing times—such as at international bridges and in lines—on our social media channels to enhance the user experience. We invite you to visit the page dedicated to the city you are interested in to access live border line reports.
To access real-time data, we invite users to check the webpage for their preferred border crossing or international bridge. Our data updates every 5 minutes; however, factors such as city traffic, road closures, weather conditions, operating hours, and significant dates can further affect predictions.
Data on crossings into the United States varies depending on whether the crossing is from the Mexican or Canada side.
On our website, bordergarita.com, you can find detailed information on current line conditions at the border crossings and international bridges that interest you. We feature official data from CBP alongside input from various Facebook groups where users contribute their own citizen reports.
In general, international bridges have the advantage of much shorter wait times compared to standard border crossings. Most international bridges connecting Mexico to the U.S. report crossing times of less than 30 minutes.
Legal requirements for entering the United States vary depending on your nationality or immigration status. In all cases, you should consult official government sources to stay informed about any specific requirements or updates.
For Mexican citizens, for example, requirements include a valid visa, an I-94 permit for traveling beyond the 25-mile border zone, and specific permits (including microchip documentation) if traveling with pets.
We encourage you to rely solely on official sources for this information.
