Status words are CBP’s own: no delay or minutes mean the lane was reporting; Lanes Closed means the lane type exists but was not operating; N/A means the feed carries no figure.

What the lanes are

  • Standard: the general passenger-vehicle, pedestrian or commercial lane.
  • NEXUS / SENTRI: a lane for members of those trusted-traveller programs; the CBP feed reports it as one figure.
  • Ready Lane: the CBP feed’s label for the lane meant for travellers with RFID-enabled documents.
  • FAST: the commercial lane for members of the FAST program.

Eligibility, fees and processing times belong to the agencies: see NEXUS lanes and SENTRI lanes by crossing and the guide NEXUS, Global Entry, SENTRI and FAST compared.

Which lane for which trip

Passenger cars and most travellers use the standard passenger lane. Pedestrians use the pedestrian lane where it exists. Trucks use the commercial lane. Check the live figure for the lane you will use on the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel wait page: lanes at the same crossing can differ by an hour.
