4K Crossing the USA Canada Border by Car via the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, New York

In today's 4K Canada Travel Guide, we will share a video showing what's it like to cross the US Canada border by car via the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, New York. The Peace Bridge is the 2nd most heavily used border crossing between the US and Canada. It carries a great deal of commercial traffic given its convenient link to destinations in both the US and Canada.

    My nerves are like gelatin. I was nervous about crossing the border for the first time in 14 years last August, so much so I failed to see a sign at the border checkpoint and the customs officer noticed. This was also the first time I crossed the border by myself. He questioned me and I was shaking inside. Thankfully, everything went well and I had a great time. Looking forward to going back into Canada for some great sightseeing this August.

    I've been to Canada a few times. I went though with an enhanced drivers license (I should really get a passport, but the EDL is still worth it if you can get one). Border security looks more intimidating than it actually is. Just be polite, answer their questions, don't be chatty and say more than you need and it takes like 30 seconds tops.

Just to let you Canadian guys know, I am a citizen of the States American via jus soli legal protocols 😢😢😢. In my lifetime, firearms have become more numerous, hold more rounds of ammunition inside their magazines, larger in sizes, heavier in masses, fire more rounds of ammunition per second, fire metallic bullets that can travel greater distances, and are more easily accessible to criminals; just to name a few. I wish you Canadian guys nothing but the very best in your efforts to keep the most powerful firearms and ammunition away from 🇨🇦. Over time, I'm afraid that the Canadian guys' efforts will become more difficult before the efforts will become easier [Good luck 🤔🤔🤔].

They asked where I was going...if I had any guns in my car and asked how I knew my passengers. They asked coming back from Canada if I bought anything in Canada... they also asked about my car , if it was mine and asked about my tags.

    We find that around 8am and 5pm are the most busy since there are many Canadians and Americans who cross the border for work. Also, the borders are busy when it is a holiday (ex. Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.) You can actually see the “traffic” at the border through Apple or Google maps.

    Normally, you can pass the peace bridge going to the US from Canada and vice versa anytime and as many times as you want if you are a Canadian or US citizen with a valid passport. No need for a monthly toll. If you are not a citizen of either country, then a visa will be required. There may also be some restrictions depending on the situation of the individual. You can confirm and get more information from the websites of both governments.

    If I’m not mistaken, they do have dogs to check for drugs but not all cars are subjected to it. Only those that are suspicious to the border agents.

    It’s too bad that you couldn’t take the time to give a commentary of your trip across the peace bridge or even as you approached it, so that people would get an idea of exactly what you were doing and why you were doing it. Just watching a dash cam video with little audio is absolutely ridiculous and certainly isn’t very helpful. I’m surprised that you even bothered to allow audio while you were at the custom booth. What about the Nexus lane? I think that perhaps some people may have been interested to know that there was a Nexus lane that can be used if they have the Nexus card. And what about the tolls? It would be nice for you to let people know that the tollbooth is after the customs booth. To be blunt, your video is pretty much useless, and a waste of time.
