Walking across at Morley Gate
Morley Gate links Nogales, Sonora, and Nogales, Arizona, for travelers on foot. CBP reports it as crossing 260403 and lists pedestrian lanes. Its passenger-vehicle and commercial-vehicle maximum-lane fields are marked not applicable, so this page is intended for people planning to walk across.
Nogales has other separately reported crossings. In particular, DeConcini is port 260401 and Mariposa is 260402. Their reports do not describe Morley's queue, and each has its own operating information. Check the name and number before setting out.
When to check the gate
CBP lists Morley Gate's port hours as 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Check the current port status and border notices before leaving, especially if your planned arrival is close to the end of the operating window. The listed port schedule does not promise that every pedestrian lane is open at every moment.
If a different crossing fits your itinerary, consult that crossing's own official report and hours before changing your plan. Do not assume its schedule matches Morley Gate's.
Understanding the pedestrian reading
Choose the pedestrian section of the Morley Gate report. CBP provides fields for standard and Ready pedestrian lanes; review the status and update time for the relevant field. A shorter displayed estimate is not a guarantee of the time you will personally spend in line.
A blank field or an update-pending message is not the same as a zero-minute wait. CBP describes land-border estimates as based on manual observations against reference points or automated measurement. Recheck the report near departure and follow signs and officers' directions at the gate.
Documents and Ready Lane eligibility
Before traveling, check CBP's land-entry document guidance for each person's citizenship and immigration status. For U.S. citizens, a valid U.S. passport or passport card is among the documents listed for land entry. Keep documents accessible for inspection when approaching the gate.
If choosing a Ready Lane, first check CBP's current list of eligible RFID-enabled documents and the lane's status. Entry-document requirements and eligibility to use a dedicated lane are separate questions. A passport book by itself is not an eligible Ready Lane card.
Use the estimate for the correct direction
CBP's displayed wait concerns entry into the United States from Mexico. It is not a southbound estimate for a walk into Mexico. The time shown represents an estimate at its reported update, so the actual queue can change before you arrive.
When coordinating with someone on the other side, share the crossing name, direction and update time along with the number. If the report is unavailable or pending, leave room in your plans rather than inventing a wait from another Nogales crossing.
