U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a travel warning in advance of the Memorial Day holiday. The alert was released on May 21, 2026, to inform the public about anticipated traffic and delays during the busy holiday period.
CBP’s advisory specifically highlights crossings along the U.S.-Canada border, where travelers should anticipate longer than usual wait times. The agency cautions that increased vehicle volume at border checkpoints may lead to heavy congestion throughout the holiday weekend, urging motorists and pedestrians alike to plan accordingly.
