Nogales Border Crossings
Nogales, Sonora's border capital, crosses into Arizona through three ports. The downtown Deconcini crossing blends vehicle traffic with one of the state's heaviest pedestrian flows; the Mariposa crossing, to the west, is the modern port where much of Mexico's fresh produce enters toward Interstate 19, with a large commercial yard and FAST lanes; and Morley Gate is the downtown pedestrian crossing. Here you see each one's live wait time — General, Ready Lane and SENTRI — to choose between downtown and the bypass; open any one for its best hour.

- Is the Nogales border wait time data official?
- Yes. It comes straight from CBP (Border Wait Times), the same source each port of entry publishes. We sync it every few minutes and relay it as-is: every card carries the stamp of its last reading, and if CBP goes quiet for a while we flag it in amber with that hour's typical wait instead of making a number up.
- Can I see the Nogales crossings in the app?
- Yes. The Garitas iPhone app covers the Mexico–U.S. border, including Nogales. Waits, maps, and hourly stats are free, and you can save favorite crossings.
- Are there live cameras for the Nogales border crossings?
- We don't publish cameras, but we answer the same question — how's the line? — without you having to watch it: above is the official wait CBP reports right now for Deconcini, Mariposa and Morley, refreshing on its own every few minutes. It serves the decision people actually make here — downtown or the bypass — and each crossing carries its typical hourly pattern, so you can tell whether Mariposa's line at this hour is the usual one or something out of the ordinary.
