That's why I always go either way through Tecate. Only one lane. (grin)

The sentri lanes are to the far right in Tijuana. Stay in the left lanes and you are fine.

What is confusing is the sign to get into the san diego/ USA lane as you come from .ensenada. It is slightly to the right of the proper lane and we zoomed into the incorrect lane. When you see that sign, stay one lane to the left and it will pass you on the passenger side of the vehicle.

I've only had one seriously irritating scene there and that was far worse for the jerk. Sort of.

I was in line and a window washer guy approached me. I did the smile and did the finger wag thing. He scowled and bashed his gallon jug of dirty soapy water against my driver's side wiper which knocked it off. I was tired and not in a great mood. It took me about a hundred feet to nail him, hold him down and pour his filthy water all over him. The other vendors laughed their faces off.

I wouldn't recommend this normally but I'm large and fast and have a testosterone poisoned maniac act that I can crank up when I want to. But no one bothered me the rest of the wait.


You beat up a squeegee man? At least you didnt beat up a street urchin selling chiclets.
Really, you should not beat up the poorest of the poor. It does not impress the women.

I have more trouble with the cops than the beggars.

Save all your loose change and look for those in wheel chairs or missing limbs. The genuine poor and in distress are obvious.

Most likely nothing would happen, but if you feel uneasy don't open the window. The worst thing that could happen is that they could steal something that was in arms reach and/or tell you a hard luck story.

I generally ignore the various "con-artists & junkies" that tend to harass people at the border. Years ago there were a lot more, but now it's significantly less probably due to the increased numbers of Mexican Police at the San Ysidro Crossing.
