Entering TJ in Far Right Lane---Metal Gate?

degoma - 7-17-2010 at 07:37 AM

It's been a year since I pulled into secondary for tourist cards. Lots of changes happened at the crossing since then. Is there still an automatic metal gate in the far right lane? I heard the bus lane was now separate....does that mean there are now separate gates at the far right?

Thanks in advance for any news on this matter. I searched the board but could not find a current (one or two months old) post on this.

Oh good, thanks for the quick reply. So it's in the gate and left to parking or straight if you are a bus?

Thanks folks for the updates. Let's went to Mexico! :bounce:

How about when pulling a boat?

Last two times int he far right lane the gate was open.
New trick (I think) in the far left lane; I used to use this when I didn't need a FMT, get the green light and then tear off, never making eye contact with the guys trying to wave me way over to the right. No one ever followed me. Now they have a check lane and two guys just waiting for you in the far left lane and will pull you over for quick check.
