Getting to Ensenada
I would appreciate it if someone could give me detailed, up-to-date directions on how to get on the toll road to Ensenada after crossing the border at
TJ.
Thanks

Stay to your right, but be sure you stay on the highway (Mex-1); the first road on the right drops down onto the main drag thru town, I
believe... follow the Cuota signs, very easy.... |
You'll pass that first right-turn, the highway goes up and curves right and follows the border fence west. The highway then drops down and curves
left/south where you'll soon come to your first tollbooth which will take either pesos or dollars.

first...stay in the middle lane

then move over carefully to the turn off lane
watch out for on-comming traffic
then get into the slow lane when you're on the border road

With all the potholes along that section, a given how fairly short it is, why would anyone try and speed there, anyway? for me, the biggest challenge
was the extremely slow traffic headed up the hill, combined with the sudden pullout of cars trying to pass.

Just drove the border highway westbound from the SY crossing today. No major potholes in the slow lane which I always use except to pass. I drive it
weekly if not more.
Avoid afternoon rush hour if you can. It gets packed.
Also drove to TJ from Ensenada yesterday on the toll road. There are some MAJOR potholes south of La Mision on the northbound side of the toll road.
Careful.

If you can't finger out how to get to Ensenada... don't go.
Jeez... maybe we should have a test to join.
