Navigating back to the border can be the most difficult part of your trip to Baja. This has been made even more difficult by laws passed recently which make it illegal to enter the border line improperly and not at the designated end of the line. For this reason, we do not recommend that you rely only on Google, Waze or Apple maps to navigate you back home. The following directions contain videos, maps and waypoints that you can use to help you get into the proper line and prevent you from violating traffic rules and having a run-in with Tijuana transit officers.
Which lanes do I use? - If you don't already know which lanes you are eligible for, check out our Border Crossing Overview to determine which of the lanes depicted below you should navigate to.
