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.
1. After passing through the Playas de Tijuana toll booth (last northbound booth on the scenic toll road) continue, following the signs to the border/San Diego.2. The road will pass through a valley after going under the foot bridge.3. Next you will pass through another larger valley. 4. If you are familiar with the Vía Internacional route to get to the border, this is where you would have exited right. Instead, continue straight.5. A Pemex will be on the right. Take notice of the CENTRO/CALLE SEGUNDA sign.6. Curve to the right and you will approach a stop light.7. After proceeding through the light, the road will curve left down the hill past a cemetery (on the right).8. Continue straight on Calle Segunda (aka Benito Juárez) until you cross Revolución and then you may recognize you are approaching the border.9. Begin watching for signs since the border line is approaching. If you use the regular border line, follow the SAN DIEGO/INTERSTATE 5 sign. If you have a Fast Pass, follow the COL. FEDERAL sign.10. There is a Smart & Final on the left as you approach the border. The gray SUV above is approaching the regular border line/VIA RAPIDA exit (the two left lanes). The red car is approaching the COL. FEDERAL exit (to the right of the concrete dividers which is the lane that is third from the left.) The COL. FEDERAL exit takes you to the Fast Pass Lane.
Recommended by others who have visited Mexico from the US. They were easy to use, clear in...cations and overall a good value. Thankfully we did not need to use our insurance on this trip but nice to know we had it.
