New Lanes To Alleviate Border Traffic In Tijuana


From KBPS

By Jill Replogle

"Mexico plans to add five northbound lanes to funnel travelers to the inspection booths at San Ysidro. Mexican authorities hope the move will help alleviate traffic that often clogs up Tijuana streets, and forces people to find alternative routes to get to the border line.

But there's also bad news for border crossers in the coming months. Starting this fall, some northbound lanes will be closed while workers erect a steel canopy over the inspection booths. But those closures will be temporary.

Authorities expect to have double the number of current inspection booths open by September 2014. And that should bring more permanent good news for cross-border commuters."

I'm pessimistic. The more traffic lanes, the more cars. It will fill up and be as slow as ever.

I'm assuming that the new lanes will take up the space of the former S/B lanes into Mexico. Better than nothing. But, unless and until the US gets over it's obsession with the Southern Border, there will be little improvement.

Remember the day when crossing at SY was quick? Hasn't been a single documented case of terrorist trying to cross. Unlike Canada.
