Queue wait
Only shown confidently when queue-tail evidence supports a border-connected queue. If verification is pending or stale, BorderKu says so instead of pretending the wait is known.
Example: None detected
QUEUE CARD GUIDE · UPDATED FOR CURRENT V7
How to Read the Queue Cards
BorderKu now separates Queue wait, Time to border and Road delay. They are three different signals. Read them together — not as one number.
01
Anatomy of the current queue card
Follow the highlight. Start with direction and status, then move through the evidence from left to right.

02
The three numbers travellers must not mix up
This is the most important change from the older guide.
Time to border
The directional travel estimate to the checkpoint. This is not automatically the immigration/customs processing time.
Example: 48 min – 1 hr 17 minRoad delay
Extra slowdown observed on the approach road. Junctions, incidents and normal traffic can contribute to this figure.
Example: +6 min road delayRemember: Queue wait ≠ Time to border ≠ Road delay.
03
Read the card in this order
Use this sequence every time you check BorderKu.
Choose Outbound or Return
Make sure the direction matches the journey you are actually taking.
Check the approach status
Approach clear, Building, Heavy or Refreshing gives the fast at-a-glance road state.
Read Queue wait
This is the queue-tail interpretation — not simply the road travel time.
Read Time to border
This is the directional approach estimate. Longer values are displayed as hours + minutes.
Check Road delay
Use this to understand how much extra slowdown is visible on the road.
Check Approach affected
Shows how much of the approach road appears affected by the current slowdown.
Check Road sample age
Fresh evidence deserves more trust than older road observations.
Check Queue-tail verification
Confirms whether a road slowdown is actually connected continuously to the checkpoint.
Read Confidence
High, Moderate or Reduced confidence tells you how much precision BorderKu is willing to show.
Use Map and Details
Open the corresponding Traffic Map or Details drawer when you need the full context.
04
What the current status labels mean
The card tint and badge describe the approach-road state, not a guarantee of immigration/customs processing.
Approach clear
Current road evidence does not show a meaningful border-connected slowdown.
Building
A slowdown is developing on the approach. Check delay, affected distance and queue-tail verification.
Heavy
A stronger approach-road slowdown is visible. Use the evidence age and confidence before acting on the time estimate.
Refreshing
Evidence is too old or incomplete for BorderKu to make a confident current statement.
05
Confidence changes how precise BorderKu should be
Freshness now controls how tightly the card speaks.
Normal range
Fresh road evidence plus recent queue-tail verification can support the normal displayed planning range.
Likely / wider range
When part of the evidence is aging, BorderKu widens or softens the estimate instead of showing false precision.
Rounded guidance
If queue-tail evidence is old, a tight range should be replaced by conservative guidance such as “About …”.
Awaiting fresh evidence
If the road sample itself is stale, BorderKu suppresses the confident time estimate until new evidence arrives.
06
How hours + minutes are displayed
Longer travel estimates are easier to understand in normal time language.

THE SIMPLE VERSION
Check live queues →Read the evidence, not just the biggest number.
Use Queue wait for queue-tail evidence, Time to border for the approach, Road delay for road slowdown, then check freshness and confidence before making your travel decision.
