Open crossingUse update age first
A recent wait with visible lane type is stronger than a generic best-hour rule. If the update looks old, carry more buffer.
Compare access time
A shorter line can lose if the alternate crossing adds too much driving, parking, or bridge approach time.
Let alerts do work
If your schedule is flexible, set a threshold instead of refreshing while packing, fueling, or choosing a route.
