## Description

CBP Border Wait Times extension delivers official Border Wait Time data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to your browser. It shows estimated wait times and open-lane status 24/7 at ports of entry that process commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and pedestrians.

The data is broken down by crossing and lane type (Standard, SENTRI, FAST, Ready Lane, Nexus, etc.), helping travelers plan crossings and choose the best time to cross. This free service is provided by the Department of Homeland Security/CBP.

## Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many say the app is helpful for planning border crossings, with features like multiple ports, maps, and webcam previews. However, chronic reliability concerns dominate: wait times are frequently inaccurate or outdated, sometimes by hours; some ports and pedestrian lane information is misleading; and mislabeled crossings reduce usefulness. Several users report slow responses or the app not updating in real time. Despite the flaws, a subset of travelers still rely on it for planning, hoping for improvements in data accuracy and update frequency.

### Pros

- Helps plan border crossings by providing wait estimates and lane options (Ready Lane vs regular).
- Provides information for multiple border crossings and nearby ports, including maps and webcams to preview traffic.
- Easy-to-use interface that is useful for frequent travelers and business trips.

### Cons

- Wait times are often inaccurate or not up-to-date, sometimes off by hours.
- Data appears outdated; some reviews note no updates in years.
- Lane availability and Ready Lane (pedestrian) information is unreliable or misleading.
- Borders/port labels are misidentified or incorrect at times.
- App performance issues such as freezing or slow refreshing.
