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.
