Best time to cross San Ysidro

Use live waits, trend, and alerts to choose a better crossing window.

There is no guaranteed best time because staffing, traffic, weather, holidays, and incidents can shift quickly.

Start with the live lane chart and compare General, Ready Lane, SENTRI/NEXUS, and pedestrian waits.

If all lanes are heavy and rising, pick a later window or set an alert for your threshold.
