Sentri San ysidro or otay?

Ive used both probably a hundred times; I just am not familiar with SENTRI wait times during the morning commute. I'm looking for someone who has experience with both to share some insight on if one is significantly better than other? Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out how to get to the RFID lanes from the toll road north from Ensenada. I always end up in the regular lanes to the west. I must be missing a sign somewhere. Possibly going under the overcrossing before the big loop to the right? Perhaps the next turnoff as you head east? John

John To get to the Ready Lanes from the toll road from Ensenada it's necessary to get on the Vía Rápida on the east side of the river channel. The access is by way of the the two big roundabouts, the first by the Cultural Center or the second by the statue of Cuauhtémoc, both on Paseo de los Heroes going south, There's a ramp to the right before the overcrossing and big loop that leads to Paseo de los Heroes. It's not very obvious. I'm not sure how it's marked, or even if it's marked. If you take the second roundabout, go east on the bridge over the river and make the first right turn after crossing at the CFE plant, and then another immediate right turn, and then a third right turn. You will be on the Vía Rápida and only need to follow the overhead signs staying in the right hand lane. If you take the first roundabout, go east over the river and turn left at the first small roundabout. This should lead to the Ready lanes, although in the past when traffic is heavy police will close access to the Ready Lanes and you will be forced to backtrack to the second roundabout. I'm not even sure that this route still gives access to the ready lanes, as I haven't used it in a long time. There is never a problem using the second roundabout, even when traffic backs up a long distance. There are other variations, but I'm giving the one easiest to explain. It's possible to use the Vía Rápida on the west of the river going south and exiting at either roundabout going west and using the roundabout to go back east (a U-turn). Or you can exit one block after the roundabout exit and make a series of right turns to get heading east over the river. There are only two bridges to get over the river to the Vía Rápida.
