Peace Arch — the Douglas crossing — joins White Rock/Surrey with Blaine, Washington, around the iconic peace monument planted right on the line between Canada's Highway 99 and Interstate 5. It is metro Vancouver's passenger crossing par excellence: cars only — trucks use Pacific Highway — with a NEXUS lane and an international park for a backdrop. Long weekends on either side of the border blow up the line; the hourly statistics help you route around them.
