I had a similar Tecate crossing one cool morning about three years ago.
The next return north there took over an hour and a half one hot afternoon! I must learn to use a calendar more!ncampion - 9-14-2016 at 07:33 PM

What's with only 1 lane of traffic? Used to be 2 lanes but last time they put us in 1 lane against the wall.DENNIS - 9-15-2016 at 07:07 AM
Actually, there was a time when it was even better. Years back, I pulled up to the booth and there wasn't even an inspector in it. She soon came
trotting over from the office off the side of the road.
Thems was the daze.

We usually cross at least twice a month here of late its like drive right up to the booth. Last week the guy at the booth wanted to B.S.he must have
been boredDENNIS - 9-16-2016 at 09:45 AM
From 5AM to 7AM the two truck lanes are used for passenger car traffic. The work traffic starts to line up on the hill the night before. People just
park their car in line, lock it and go home to sleep for the night.
What a nightmare of planning they used at Tecate. When they built the new crossing a few years back, they could have taken the whole project a few
miles east and not ruined the lives of all those homeowners living on that fence road, but being customer friendly, or just nice, isn't their method
of operation. basautter - 9-17-2016 at 10:39 AM
Nice!Ken Cooke - 9-18-2016 at 10:15 AM
Sunday afternoon, Labor day weekend - 10 minute wait. Bajahowodd - 9-18-2016 at 02:49 PM
Always try to cross at Tecate, but have encountered delays up to 1 1/2 hours on occasion. Problem that I have is that since I live in central Orange
County, it is a really long drive over to I-5. So, it has been sort of a mixed bag crossing there.
Anyone tell me if the additional gates at SY have speeded up crossing?ehall - 9-26-2016 at 07:00 AM
Sunday around 2;30 pm. Line stretched over the hill to the bottom of the other side. Looked to be about a 2 hr. wait. We were on bikes so only about 5
minutes or less.Ken Cooke - 9-26-2016 at 07:36 AM
The line took me :55 minutes in Tecate yesterday. It looked really bad, but only took Leidys and I less than an hour.
I used this time sitting in traffic to check my Facebook!
