About

About this crossing

San Ysidro is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere, connecting central Tijuana with the southern edge of San Diego, where Interstate 5 runs straight to the line. It packs dozens of vehicle lanes with General, Ready Lane and SENTRI service, plus an enormous pedestrian flow split between PedEast and the El Chaparral approach on the Mexican side. At this scale the wait swings hard by hour: pre-dawn and mid-morning tend to be kind, commuter peaks and weekends are not.
