Tijuana is one of the most popular locations to cross the border between the United States and Mexico, largely due to the proximity of Tijuana to San Diego. Because of this, there are three different locations to cross the Tijuana border; San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, and Tecate. Whether crossing on foot or by vehicle, each crossing offers aspects that can be advantageous. For example, the San Ysidro crossing has the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) and PedWest for pedestrians while Tecate offers very close parking on the United States side of the border. The border crossing gateways do no require a toll fee unless you travel beyond the free zone for longer than 7 days. Because millions of people cross the border each year, it comes as no surprise that there can often be long lines and wait times.
