message: Does this list include former border crossing points that are no longer active as well as current ones? I noticed two places which aren't crossable now but were in the past. Do i remove them from the list? Does a border crosing mean that there is a border station present as well?  Thanks Sirtrebuchet 19:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Emerson–Noyes crossing has been struck through; what is the second one you had in mind?  Perhaps a (sub)section for former crossings would be a solution for this; the Point Roberts article mentions a now-closed second border crossing in that community.  As for your last question, it is now answered in the introductory paragraph of the Road Crossings section. Mr Death 06:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current or former as well ? 

message: Would it be worthwhile to split off the rail crossings into a separate article, and reserve this one for road/ferry crossings only? Mr Death 05:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split this article? 

message: According to the Manual of Style's section about en-dashes,
"All disjunctive en dashes are unspaced, except when there is a space within either or both of the items (the New York – Sydney flight; the New Zealand – South Africa grand final; July 3, 1888 – August 18, 1940, but July–August 1940)."
The title of this article, "List of Canada–United States border crossings", is is in clear violation of this guideline, which is followed by the Naming conventions and which makes perfect sense regarding the good appearance of text anyway. I have thus decided to move the article, as well as several others suffering from the same problem, in this case to "List of Canada – United States border crossings". A redirect shall be created and properly tagged, so that the article will still be searchable and linkable in its previous version, and I will change as many incoming links as possible.

thread_title:  Incorrect listing 

message: Two things I'd do when/if I have the time and there were consensus: Moving the table captions out into subsections so we have a more useful "contents", and adding a column for the coord templates so you can map the locations. Reasonable? B.S. Lawrence (talk) 15:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  subsections and coordinates 

message: I expanded the fledgling section on closed crossings.  I believe this is a complete list of places where inspections once occurred at the border.  There were many other uncontrolled crossings, and there still are a few.
Also, I dressed up the whole page with some photos.  I think the page is now technically accurate. --Wbaron01 (talk) 02:49, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

message: According to my Minnesota state highway map, there are ports of entry at Crane Lake, Minnesota and Ely, Minnesota.  Just wondering what the deal is with those. DandyDan2007 (talk) 11:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: A problem with the article is being able to easily access or reference subsections. Can't do it. I wanted to be able to ref, rather than repeat the list for a state in another article, but can't get to it. No subsections. Student7 (talk) 01:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I have removed references listed with some port of entry names for local municipalities (in parentheses) nearby the ports of entry.  This is because it was confusing as to what the actual name of the port of entry is (according to CBP and CBSA).  I am tempted to add a full address section, then list the local town there, but for now have decided not to because I think that will clutter up the page with information most people will not find useful.  Wbaron (talk) 02:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Port of Entry names

message: Someone has wandered onto this article and removed all of the highway shields and example images.  One would think that person would leave a note here explaining the rationale for doing this.  The changes could not be easily undone (undo only replaced a few shields), and I am reluctant to spend the time it takes to repair the damage.  Wbaron (talk) 00:48, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And I don't think they're necessary either. The graphics attract undue attention, and it causes some graphic maintenance issues as not all of the highway markers for Canada have been created. On articles like List of Interstate Highways in Michigan, WP:USRD has decided that only the subject of each line should receive a highway marker graphic, not the intersecting roadways at the termini. The reason is to keep the focus on the subject of each line, and in the case of this list, the subject is not the highways at all. Imzadi 1979 →  22:27, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Unilateral Removal of graphic content

message: Much thanks to the person who added information about the border crossings on the Alburgh peninsula.  However, I don't think either the US or Canada ever had an inspection station at any location other than where they are currently located, so I have removed this item from this page.  It is just one of many roads that once were legal placed to cross the border, but you had to travel some additional distance to report for inspection.
Now, it does raise the question of whether or not we should add a section that lists unattended roads that crossed the border.  These would include many vermont roads, some in Eastern Maine, and those in the Akwesasne / St. Regis area, among others.  Anyone think we should try to take this on?

thread_title: Alburgh VT border crossing

message: On Google Maps, there is a road visible which crosses the Maine-Quebec border from the Canadian Route de Bellechasse to the American Gilbert Rd. Is this a border crossing? I'm unsure whether this should list be on the article proper.

thread_title: Gilbert Rd/Route de Bellechasse crossing (QC-ME)

message: I added the Akwesasne crossings (QC-NY). Perhaps the list should include unstaffed crossings  only where those without special approvals can cross, such as there and Hyder AK. And what about Angle Inlet MN which is "staffed" remotely? SofDetrHerg (talk) 09:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a legal unstaffed road crossing in the Skagit River valley BC/WA. It's purpose is to access Hozomeen/Ross Lake in North Cascades National Park. 60 km of Canadian gravel, no road connection to balance of the US road system.Legacypac (talk) 07:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

text: I believe the one in Idaho is a barracaded road, but it would be worth a trip out there to check it out and confirm.  The one in Montana is a former border crossing (closed in 1996) and is listed in the Closed Land Ports of Entry as Flathead-Trailcreek. Wbaron (talk) 16:41, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

text: This area just east of the crossing has long been a problem, and it keeps border patrol busy.  I advise not crossing here unless you are prepared for a lengthy interrogation and background check. The Canadians are a little more easy going, but both sides want crossers to immediately report to the border station, so if you were hoping to save time, think again. Since everyone crossing here is required to report to the border station, I haven't added these roads to the legal unstaffed border crossing list, but I can understand why someone might wish to add them.Wbaron (talk) 16:46, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Unstaffed crossings

message: This table has been a valuable resource for a number of years, but it's time to create more detailed articles about each of the crossings.  I am writing them as time allows, but it takes time to do them.  I have articles for all the crossings east of the Great Lakes, and have started working from west to east, starting in Alaska.  As I get them finished, I am creating links from this table.  Currently the municipality that shares the name of each crossing is linked, which is often irrelevant.  The individual crossing articles are generally a little thin; they are mostly placeholders for others to add content.  Please feel free to beef them up as you see fit.Wbaron (talk) 14:34, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The page lists the Osoyoos, BC Canadian port of entry as closed on holidays. That's not really supported by reliable sources or true from my personal experience (crossing there quite frequently). The CBSA web site has an "*Except holidays" flag on the hours but doesn't say what the hours are on holidays. I'm quite sure they're 24 hours on holidays too; they processed my immigration to Canada on the Canadian Thanksgiving Day, for example. —Alex (Ashill | talk | contribs) 05:08, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: You're correct, this has been a 24/7/365 border crossing ever since they built the joint border station.  The page is correct now. Wbaron (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

In there early 2000s there was a ferry from Toronto to Rochester, called The Breeze.  Both ferry terminals had border facilities.  Not sure what section to add this to? Magnolia677 (talk) 23:21, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't have a section for former ferry services. I suppose one could be added.  During the early 2000s, this line was included in the international ferry section, along with one from Portland, ME to Yarmouth, NS. These were just deleted when the services were discontinued.
