San Luis 1 joins downtown San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, with San Luis, Arizona, south of Yuma. It is the historic crossing of this farming valley: General, Ready Lane and SENTRI vehicle lanes plus a strong pedestrian flow of farmworkers and shoppers. Its hourly pattern is written by agriculture — intense pre-dawn crossings during Yuma's harvest season — and by downtown commerce on afternoons and weekends.
