Tarajal status right now: estimated wait, official camera and best time
If you're crossing now, first: check the live status before leaving home. The wait at the Tarajal crossing changes from one moment to the next, especially at peak times and weekends.

Friday afternoon (leaving for Morocco) and Sunday evenings (returning to Ceuta) are the busiest moments of the week. In August and the Operación Paso del Estrecho, vehicle weekends can reach hours of waiting.
Check the Friday and Sunday queues guide to know when to cross.

What does the «LIVE» badge mean?
It reflects the freshness of the official figure de vehículos, que es la única cifra que se mide de verdad. Si lleva más de una hora sin actualizarse, el sello se pone en ámbar y lo avisa: la estimación sigue funcionando, pero el dato medido está en pausa.
How often is it updated?
The official figure arrives once an hour and community reports come in instantly. The site refreshes itself every minute.
Why does it sometimes say «Estimate» and not «Fluid», «Moderate» or «Slow»?
Porque para poner una etiqueta de tráfico hacen falta al menos dos reportes recientes. Con menos, la espera sigue siendo útil pero se presenta como estimación por horario: preferimos decir que no hay datos antes que inventarnos una etiqueta.
Where does the data come from?
From two sources: the official vehicle wait published by the City of Ceuta for the holding area, and anonymous reports from people who are crossing. This site is not an official source.
Can I be alerted when the wait drops?
Yes: on the homepage you can turn on phone alerts and choose the minutes threshold, or receive the status hourly on the Telegram channel.
