San Ysidro - Calle Segunda Directions

Directions to the San Ysidro Border via Calle Segunda

Calle Segunda (aka Benito Juárez) is a great alternate route to know about in case the border line is very long during certain times of the year (or if Vía Internacional is closed). If the border line is short, this may not be the fastest route to the border, however, since the Tijuana/San Ysidro border line extends onto Calle Segunda, it is an easy and direct route to the border line or to find the Fast Pass Lane or SENTRI.
