New Sentri directions?
Read that approach to Sentri changed yesterday. We used to take that middle lane on Second, pass the medical lane kiosk, go down, uturn, then enter
Sentri on the left (at the no left turn sign). Now I read it is only accessible via Padre Kino. Can anyone please give step by step directions?
W/photos would be great! Thanks!

I went last weekend, it was the same as it ever was. Did it really change or not? Where did the above photo come from?

I just read the El Mexicano article this morning. Article was posted Saturday, 1 March @ 1:17PM.
"Temporary" or "permanent" in Baja is a state of mind. The border pathways seem to change on a whim.

Yep, per that article, the old Colonial Federal way to Sentri is dead. Follow the directions Bajadock posted.

As of this morning the new Padre Kino entrance was in effect when I crossed at 10:00 AM. Easy to find once on Padre Kino. The old way around the
Hospital and the no Uturn sign is really out of the way if coming from the West.
Use the above map and you are In Like Flinn.

Are the Ready Lanes obvious? I'll be crossing through Tijuana next week for the first time. I'm not even sure which crossing is better (we're coming
from Rosarito)

Great! Thanks for the report.
I wonder... How many people this morning during their Monday morning commute were thrown off.
Also, why on earth is this not documented on the SENTRI website?

Yes. Just go up the Vía Rápida toward the border and stay to the left.
Otay Mesa is usually a shorter wait but it does take longer to get there from Rosarito so factor that in. If you are using the regular lanes then
Otayi s the better choice.

Because it is Mexico. The booth location is in the US and did not change. Mexico can and does change the approaches on a whim and usually doesn't
notify anybody

For future reference maybe you should add the SENTRI crossing name so we can find this info in the future

Just went up this morning and got to the border at 10:00 and didn't cross until 11:25 ------------ F.U.B.A.R. -------------
Because the Ready Lane and the Sentri Lanes are now ONE until you get within 15 cars from the booth and those without Sentri are trying to get into
the proper left lanes where the Ready Lane booths are it's just a mess. The two cars in front of me went through the Sentri Lane and were sent to
secondary. I asked the guard if he sent those cars to secondary because they were in the wrong lane and he said yes. He also said they will wait there
for at least 1 1/2 hours… I will not cross there until they fix it. I have a better plan!
When I returned to Ensenada all traffic was diverted to the center city on 10th street because of the Mardi Gras parade. The traffic was a mess,
AGAIN… Bad day to travel. FAT TUESDAY? TERRIBLE TUESDAY!

Dang!
Sounds like Otay will be my preferred crossing.

LL,
Clarification, please. I have conflicting reports.
...
From Padre Kino, do you go up and over the bridge....or do you hang a right before the bridge into the "AUTOBUS" lane???
And maybe it changes on a whim. I encourage everyone to use Mexicali until this is straightened out.
