Popular Transportation | Miscellaneous Transportation Tips | All Tips (21)
I have made the trip back and forth to San Diego many times on the toll road both in the day and at night and so far have not been stopped once. I have noticed that SUVs tend to be stopped more than cars.
Some general tips that may help avoid problems:
1. Don't drink and drive.
2. Don't drive an expensive vehicle.
3. Have proof of mexican insurance before you cross the border.
4. Don't speed (limits are posted in KPH and change frequently).
5. Remember that the left lane on the toll road is for passing only.
6. Always wear your seat belt.
7. Make sure your registration and driver's license are valid. Your vehicle can be impounded if these are not current.
8. Using a cell phone while driving is a traffic violation in Baja California.
9. Watch for cross walks, pedestrians have the right-of-way.
When you cross the border in one of the nothing to declare lanes, you will get a random green or red light (if you get red you need to pull into the inspection lane). After crossing stay towards the middle lanes, but be prepared to exit on the right for the Ensenada Scenic Toll Road (MEX1). You will pass through three tolls (Currently 26 pesos or $2.50 USD on the way down to Ensenada, which is worth it because the free road will take much longer. There is also one agricultural inspection south of Rosarito, which I hear they may be removing soon. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 | |  |  | New Pasport Requirements to Re-enter the U.S. | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
The U.S. Departments of State announced that all U.S. citizens, Canadians, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and citizens of Mexico will be required to have a passport or other accepted secure document (such as a Border Crossing Card) to enter or re-enter the U.S. by January 1, 2008. SENTRI, NEXUS, and FAST programs are anticipated to be still accepted.
The new travel requirements will be rolled out in phases. The current proposed implementation timeline is as follows:
December 31, 2005 – Passport or other accepted document required for all travel (air/sea) to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
December 31, 2006 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
December 31, 2007 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherWebsite: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2005/44228.htm
