bajaguy you are so right. take a look at the wait times for the border right now.
otay regular is 1 hour 30 minutes
otay ready is 1 hour 20 minutes.
10 minutes, b*d.
do you think the ready lane is twice as long and they are processing them faster?
kashey, don't go to the border now!!!

Sorry, fandango. But I just checked both times.... Sentri pass lanes are 10 minutes.
http://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/
And with my Sentri pass I come and go at will. 20 minutes being the longest I've ever waited. While the other lanes were 3 hours. Well worth
the $25 a year we pay for Sentri....

Cargo Carrier/Roof Rack
| Quote: | Oh, I'd say yes....
Maybe before next trip.... I need 4 total.
Sure wish I could pull a trailer through Sentri... hmmm, I wonder about a cargo carrier and roof rack.
I will have to check. |
Yup, no problems. When we had our SUV, typically used the roof rack and a "Hitch Haul" cargo carrier in the Otay SENTRI lane.

Man that sounds like a nightmare! Great info, and I`m envious how you get this info. I want it!!
Hope the Ready Lanes work out. Remember, when they can check a vehicle through 20 seconds quicker, it helps all lanes.
When they first had the Otay lanes open, it was a holiday! About 10 minutes, maybe 15. BUT then everyone found out and bought cards and things evened
out (same time in either type of lane).
Every little bit helps us all!!

One of the walking newspaper vendors gave us his walkie-talkie number and we can call him for updates...
Today I whizzed past them in the regular lanes. Not happy campers, but they didn't back out either. ???

Today (12/20) was the general meeting to get ready to open the SY Ready Lanes next Tuesday 12/27. If they were in those lanes yesterday expecting to
get thru quickly they were 8 days too early.

appears the passport book with rfid can be used in ready lane
the passport book with rfid can be used in ready lane, but text is not clear as mud
here is text from https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1211/~/ready-la...
| Quote: |
What documents can I use to enter the Ready Lane?
WHTI-compliant, RFID-enabled cards approved by the Department of Homeland Security include: the U.S. Passport Book and Card; the Enhanced Driver's
License (EDL); the Enhanced Tribal Card (ETC); Trusted Traveler Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST cards); the new Enhanced Permanent Resident Card (PRC)
or new Border Crossing Card (BCC).
SENTRI and NEXUS lanes are reserved strictly for the use of SENTRI and NEXUS card holders.
All travelers in the vehicle over the age of 16 must have an RFID-enabled card to use the Ready Lane. Children 15 years old and younger may travel in
the Ready Lane with adult travelers if all adults in the vehicle have an RFID-enabled travel card.
U.S. Passport Cards can be obtained through the Department of State.
NEXUS/SENTRI/FAST cards can be obtained through CBP at www.CBP.gov.
Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDL) can be obtained from a local DMV or government office in the states of New York, Washington, Vermont, and Michigan,
as well as in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, and Manitoba. Note: If you applied and are waiting for the EDL, the
receipt or temporary notice you may have received is NOT a valid travel document. |

Thanks goat..... That clears some stuff up. I had a feeling the passport
RFID book would be accepted. Well I just got back from the post office and express mailing my app. for the card. So now I'll be covered with both
Sentri and passport card..........

Anyone care to consider, especially you long time border crossers, that the current state of affairs is totally political?
Combine the after 9/11 Bush administration hysteria with the current anti-immigrant stuff in a climate of high unemployment, and what you get are
these 2-3 hour back ups at the fence, as if they are going to find terrorists hiding in the trunk of a Honda, or even illegals, who long ago realized
they would have to hike across the desert. World gone mad.
Your tax dollars at work.

Reading through this thread, it would seem the Ready Lanes were to open the 27th. Did they open the 20th? Are they open now? Has anyone gone through?
I asked on a separate thread but that one is locked now.

Good morning, BornFisher.....
That article was written on the 14th and was published on the 19th. It stated the lane was to open the next Tuesday which would have been the 27th.
But I guess the SD Union expects us to figure out what the writter was thinking a week earlier.............Don't feel bad. It took me a couple of
readings before I figured it out too.......... Chalk it up to the expertise of the writers and editors at the SD Union.. .......
