I came northbound Wed 3/17, about 5:30PM to cross in SY. Easy line northbound, about 15 minutes. BUT as I drove north on the 805, the southbound
traffic to get into TJ was backed up past the Trolley bridge clear to the next overhead, at least a mile away from the border! And I`ve no idea how
the 5 was. Anyone been stuck in that mess? I`m wondering, how long is the wait to get into Mexico on a typical weekday afternoon?BajaWarrior - 3-20-2010 at 09:41 PM
Brutally long, avoid. I work with guys that live in Playas and wait until 6:30 or later to cross.DENNIS - 3-20-2010 at 09:43 PM

Which day? What time? How bad might you have to take a leak when you realize you are stuck in line and can't get off?
Lots of variables.Woooosh - 3-20-2010 at 10:06 PM
Took us 90 minutes Tuesday at 4:30pm. We thought we'd be ahead of it. Got off the 5 at San Ysidro Blvd to hit "Tom's Tacos". Tried to get back on
the 805 a block down to cross, but no one would let us in (or the dozens of others). We went straight through to the right instead- all the way up to
the duty-free shops loop (Pedestrian drop off to enter Mexico). We waited to get through the light heading back and were still ahead of the people
who wouldn't let us merge when we got back on the 5. Did I mention we just hit the taco shop- so at least I wasn't cranky... got_fishead - 3-20-2010 at 10:19 PM
we arrived at the aeropuerto entrance by 3:45pm and took us only 20mins to enter the USA....far right lane was moving pretty good.BJSoccer16 - 3-25-2010 at 07:11 PM
LOOOOOONG; full of impatient, bad drivers ......... avoid if at all possible... I work in the mountain region and cross at Tecate to avoid the mess
(as of today) if you go any time after 3pm on a weekday it is easily over an hour.tjBill - 3-25-2010 at 10:05 PM
Right now they are doing construction on the Mexican side of the San Ysidro port of entry. As a result, the left two lanes are closed entering Mexco.Bob and Susan - 3-26-2010 at 04:17 AM

Wow... and the Rosarito government people were on TV yesterday and are blaming the U.S. passport requirement for bad tourism!SteveD - 3-26-2010 at 08:27 AM
We crossed last Friday night at about 7:00PM. Took about 40 minutes with 6 lanes open.
