Okay, someone make it real simple for me...crossing tomorrow...where do I go? I hate getting lost in TJ. Am tempted just to head to Tecate. One
more time please, simple directions, crossing to toll road.

once more, you will have two choices, you want the left lanes (centro) the ones that go UP a hill (actually a bridge but just looks like a hill) stay
to your right and take the first right, it'll put you right on international.
have a great trip!

Follow chithole road along the border fence, until you get to toll road.
If you get misdirected into downtown, panic! Then, follow 3rd west until it turns into second. follow 2nd toward ocean. 2nd becomes the toll road.
Easy peasy.
Dk will draw you a map if you buy a copy of his mission book.

Is a couple of bucks that important? Taking the route that you recommend entails several traffic lights and a bunch of cross traffic along the way. No
thanks.

5 PM on a weekday is usually a good time to cross at San Ysidro. Regular lanes maybe an hour, probably less, ready and sentri lanes quicker, of
course. Don't know about Tecate.

Northbound this Monday afternoon is going to be hours and hours if the Memorial Day tourist predictions are correct.

Made it. Thanks everyone. The photos really helped. Orange signs are a little confusing, but...pass customs, go straight, up the "hill" that's
really an overpass, stay right, take first right.

Crossed at Otay heading north on Monday afternoon around 3 pm. Sentri lane took 15 minutes to cross, but we were sent into secondary inspection. We
had a lot of camping equipment. Secondary inspection took another 15 minutes, although it was crowded with cars. Total time to be on our way was 31
minutes. Not bad at all for Memorial day.
