About Ready lanes
RFID-enabled lanes for travelers carrying RFID-equipped travel documents. Pre-reads documents as the vehicle approaches, cutting inspection time. CBP publishes wait times for each lane separately, so a long Standard line does not necessarily mean a long Ready line. Times below come straight from the CBP BWT feed and update every five minutes. If a crossing reports zero, lanes may be momentarily idle, between updates, or closed for the day — check the crossing page for hours and operational status before relying on the number.
