PedEast vs. PedWest: San Ysidro pedestrian crossings
Find the separate pedestrian accesses, check each reported schedule and compare pedestrian waits without using vehicle-queue readings.

Two accesses, separate readings
Garitas has separate pages for San Ysidro pedestrian crossings and El Chaparral (PedWest). PedWest is pedestrian-only; a vehicle reading at another port does not describe its queue.
Confirm the access schedule
Check each page’s reported hours and status. Do not assume the accesses share a schedule or that a general schedule covers every lane. Operations can change; verify with CBP before heading to the access.
Choose an access you can reach
Compare current pedestrian readings and account for your route before and after crossing. If a page shows an earlier observation or a typical pattern, keep that distinction in your decision.
