Crossing into Canada

Crossing into Canada through Port Huron, Bluewater bridge. Are there specific lanes for the RV, or do we follow the big trucks? Going to NY state in early Oct. from Mi.

    Usually 3 lanes across the bridge. There are overhead signs for trucks and cars/rvs and something else. Follow the cars. IIRC, cars are on right into states, on left into Canada. Usually all lanes for RVs, but there are big signs over the booths visible from where the lanes start to separate.

    Now you get to decide: will the fast lane be one with 10 cars in it or 5 RVs?


    With the luck I have , I'm sure I can pick the slow lane.

    You know it's going to be a slow lane when four ICE officers converge on the van at the booth with guns drawn... ;)

    Not necessarily, I was just getting to the point where the road spreads out into lanes when pretty much exactly that happened in front of me. As cars scrambled for other lanes I moved forward. In about 60 seconds they had the 2 occupants of the vehicle out of the car and an officer jumped in it and drove it into the secondary parking area.

    I think it took me all of about 3 or 4 minutes to clear the border.
