San Ysidro - Regular (All Traffic) Lanes Directions

Directions to San Ysidro Regular (All Traffic) Lanes

Updated November 26, 2025

NOTICE: ENTRANCE TO ALL TRAFFIC (REGULAR) LANES HAS CHANGED.

As of November 18, 2025 the All Traffic (regular) lanes on the west side of the San Ysidro border have closed and are now only for SENTRI - Global Entry border crossers. The only access to All Traffic lanes is coming from the east side of the border via Paseo de Los Heroes. For those who are coming from the coastal highway (1D) and cities (Rosarito, Ensenada, etc.) we suggest that you follow the route depicted below which takes you shortly along the Via Rapida, and then makes a turn back in the opposite direction at the CECUT on Paseo de los Heroes.
