are two major volume border crossings in B.C. that carry the majority
of traffic into and out of Washington State.
One is the heavily used small vehicle only Peace Arch Crossing, the other the commerical and small vehicle crossing located east of Peace Arch, the Pacific Highway Border Crossing. Other major highway crossings in British Columbia include Point Roberts, Aldergove, Huntington, and Osoyoos. Peace Arch and Pacific Highway have a very large volume of traffic.

Through
B.C.'s Ministry of Transportation (Advanced Traveller Information System)
and the Washington State Department of Transportation, a number of cameras
on both
sides of the border can be accessed to see the volume of traffic and conditions at the border. Another camera - privately run by A & A Contract Customs Brokers at their facility - on Highway 15 just north of the border provides views south, west, and north in cycles. This page brings the various locations of these cameras onto one page. You'll see icons on the map. For each of the icons (cameras, message signs, and points of travel) a sign will appear once the icon is clicked. The sign will indicate what the icon is. The blue diamonds next to the camera icon indicate the approximate location of the camera. This page is optimised for 1024 x 768 screen rendition.
