Tijuana Border Crossings
Tijuana holds the busiest crossings on the entire border. San Ysidro — the busiest land port in the Western Hemisphere — and its PedWest pedestrian crossing connect downtown Tijuana with south San Diego, while Otay Mesa and Otay Mesa Commercial move the eastern industrial and airport district, cargo included. Here you compare each one's live times — General, Ready Lane, SENTRI and FAST — to choose where and when to cross. When San Ysidro saturates, Otay is usually the relief valve; open any crossing to see its hour-by-hour pattern and the best window of the day.
