While we don't recommend using your navigation app to navigate directly from your start point to your destination across the border, we do recommend following this two step method to navigate to the end of the SENTRI line using waypoints. We feel this method is reliable 99% of the time, and only on very rare occasions, such as the busiest days during the christmas season, would we expect the SENTRI wait to back up further.

• Step 1

  Navigate to the roundabout of General Ignacio Zaragoza next to Hotel Lucerna Tijuana. It does not matter how Google navigates you there, what is important is that you begin the route to the SENTRI Lane Entry Point from this roundabout. Starting at the roundabout should reliably direct you to the back of the SENTRI line and avoid any issues with entering the line where you shouldn't.

• Step 2

  Once you reach the roundabout you will then navigate to the SENTRI Lane Entry Point. This should take you around the roundabout to head northeast over the bridge onto "Boulevard Padre Kino". Follow your map from there and Google should take you to the SENTRI Entry Point. Consult our map below to confirm that Google is navigating you along the same route. If it takes you a different way, it could be to an entrance prohibited by Tijuana transit officials.

Additionally, we highly suggest you watch the video below which follows the route described here and provides terrific visual cues for navigating to the roundabout and on to the SENTRI Entry Point.
