Plan your Drezzo Pedrinate crossing by checking the current reading and, when available, the live webcam feed. Over the last 30 days the best hour to transit (IT→CH direction) has been —; the worst hour is —. This page is regenerated on every deploy — live data comes from the Firestore collection fed by the TomTom traffic cron, the same numbers used across the site's interactive map. If you are returning to Italy after work, remember that the evening flow reverses direction: between 17:00 and 19:00 the main commercial crossings typically show queues in the opposite direction compared to the morning.
History is being collected: monthly archives and 30-day weekly patterns will appear as soon as enough data is available.

Frequently asked questions
When is Drezzo Pedrinate least congested?
On average the Drezzo Pedrinate crossing shows the shortest queues mid-morning (10:00–12:00) and mid-afternoon (14:00–16:00). Outside the commuter peaks (06:30–08:30 and 17:00–19:00), wait times often drop below 5 minutes.
How are wait minutes calculated?
Wait times are derived from two routing measurements: an approach segment (~500 m before the crossing on the Italian side) and the crossing segment (crossing → Swiss checkpoint). The excess time over the traffic-free baseline is the queue. Data is collected every 15 minutes during peak hours and persisted to Firestore.
What should I do if the queue exceeds 40 minutes?
If the main crossing is congested, consider a nearby local crossing: Maslianico-Pizzamiglio instead of Chiasso Centro, Crociale dei Mulini instead of Brogeda, Clivio-Ligornetto instead of Gaggiolo. Local crossings have lower capacity but often remain fluid when the main ones saturate.
Do the webcams work at night?
The Canton of Ticino Territory Department webcams are active 24/7, but night-time visibility depends on how the crossing is lit. Brogeda has constant lighting; smaller local crossings may appear dark during night hours.
