Preferred Route to the San Ysidro Regular (All Traffic) Entrance

WARNING: DO NOT RELY ONLY ON GOOGLE/WAZE/APPLE NAVIGATION! It is often inaccurate and will take you to the wrong lane or on a route in which you may inadvertently cut in line and will subject you to penalties.

The following video and maps depict the preferred way to get to the regular border entrance at San Ysidro, also known as the "All Traffic" lanes. The All Traffic lanes accept the most types of identity documents and are generally used by border crossers who do not meet eligibility requirements for either the ReadyLane or SENTRI lanes. We feel the route depicted in the video and map below should be reliable during most times of the year. We have also included a slightly longer route to use during peak travel periods such as on long weekends or the christmas holiday season. Both routes go to the same waypoint at the entrance of the All Traffic (Regular Lane) entrance. In general you should be able to use your navigation app of choice to map to the waypoint provided below and have no problems properly entering the line. The preferred route takes you to the All Traffic entry point along the "Via Internacional"
