Frequently asked questions

How many border crossings are there between Mexico and the United States?

CBP publishes wait times for more than 40 land crossings on the Mexican border, spread across California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Some ports have several bridges or facilities (passenger vehicles, pedestrians and commercial trucks).

Which border crossing has the most traffic?

San Ysidro, between Tijuana and San Diego, is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere. Next in volume are the Ciudad Juárez–El Paso and Nuevo Laredo–Laredo bridges.

Are these wait times for entering Mexico or the United States?

They are wait times for entering the United States (northbound), which is what CBP measures. Entering Mexico is usually faster, although Mexican Customs runs random inspections.
