Santa Teresa, on the New Mexico segment just west of El Paso, has become the modern relief valve of the Juárez–El Paso system: broad facilities, General, Ready Lane and SENTRI lanes, and a fast-growing commercial operation beside the San Jerónimo and Santa Teresa industrial parks. Sitting outside the urban core costs a few extra minutes of driving, but the shorter line usually pays it back — this page tells you whether that holds today.
