FAQ: alert questions

How do border wait alerts work?

Choose a crossing and wait threshold from a crossing page. Alerts use public wait updates, latest-update notes, and older-update warnings so you can check before leaving.

Do alerts replace checking the crossing page?

No. Use alerts as a reminder, then confirm the current wait, lane type, update time, weather, and route before departure.

Can I stop alerts?

Yes. Use the stop form with the same email or phone number and choose SMS or email.

Can local sites link to alert tools?

Yes. Local guides can link to alert pages, crossing pages, and widgets as long as attribution and update context remain visible.

Are alert contacts shown on public pages?

No. Public wait pages show wait and update context only. Email, phone, opt-out, and delivery records stay private.
