San Ysidro Favorites

Favorite thing: You may have read/heard that the San Ysidro/Tijuana border is the busiest land crossing point in the world. It is and that means that driving near the border area can be daunting, especially since both, Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 end at the border crossing into Tijuana, Mexico and because there are so many cars in the area all the time.

Before getting to the border there are signs, "Last Chance Exit," to let the driver know it is time to get off the freeway if going into Tijuana is not desired. However, if the sign is overlooked or if ,while driving around San Ysidro, you make a wrong turn and find yourself facing the check point, I want you to know you are not lost.

On the San Ysidro side of the border there are turn-around options at both the entrance and the exit check point.
