About
About this crossing
Otay Mesa connects Tijuana's eastern industrial and airport district with the Otay Mesa area of San Diego. It is the city's second gateway and the natural relief valve when San Ysidro backs up: General, Ready Lane and SENTRI vehicle lanes, its own pedestrian crossing, and direct access to the industrial parks on both sides. Its pace follows maquiladora shift changes and Tijuana airport traffic, so the hourly statistics here are handy for dodging the shift-change spikes.
