Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at peak times.

- Bring a copy of any required ID or vehicle paperwork in an easy-to-reach spot so processing goes quicker at the booth.
- Avoid the mid-to-late morning rush on Saturdays if possible; weekday mornings tend to move faster when local contractors aren’t piling in.
