San Ysidro - Sentri Global Entry Driving Directions - Most Reliable Route

The route we depict here www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mi... and in the video is a longer way to get to the entrance of the SENTRI lanes. We feel it should be 100% reliable even in times when the border wait is longest such as at the end of a long weekend, or during the busy holiday season.
We've also included a shorter route to the San Ysidro SENTRI, that is not shown in the video: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mi... Please be advised that if you attempt to take this shorter route when there are longer wait times, you may be redirected by traffic officers to get the back of the line. This can be very confusing for a lot of border crossers, which is why we have opted to show the longer route depicted in the video.
Important note: DO NOT RELY ON GOOGLE/WAZE/APPLE NAVIGATION. It is often inaccurate and will take you to the wrong lane
And if you are not yet a member of the SENTRI/Global Entry program to enjoy shorter border waits, you should start the process now: ttp.dhs.gov/. For more information on the different border lane types and what documents are necessary, visit www.bajabound.com/before/retu...
We also highly recommend using Baja Bound insurance when traveling to Mexico www.bajabound.com/

The road past the Padre Kino roundabout/statue is slightly different now, but still an excellent video and it will get you there, just don't be in the far left lane after that roundabout on Padre Kino.

Wanted to chime in and thank you for this. Watched the video a few times before my trip, had it loaded up and ready with my passenger, and found the route no problem.

I have lived in Playas now for a year. I sure wish you posted this back then. It would have saved me much stress and embarrassment the two times I ended up going the wrong way on a one way street. This is the route that I have eventually settled on months after moving here. This should be very useful for all new Sentri users.

So helpful!!! I have ptsd from getting lost and going in circles for hours at this crossing. I owe you mucho!

[@andyflick2986]

Fantastic video! Thank you for this great set of instructions!

[@bellebbc]

Thank you so much for the detailed turn by turn video, it definitely helped us save so much time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@brittanyb3762]

Muchos gracias for making this video. It helped us so much today!

[@CrystalBedoya]

Driving through Tijuana is such an whirlwind. Thank you so much for making this video!! It was incredibly helpful 🥳🥳🥳

[@greenaspandan]

Thanks Jorge ❤ this was so helpful! It was a little overwhelming at first, but it was actually fairly quick and easy despite having to go thru construction zone.

[@gmedina5678]

Thanks for sharing. Will keep an eye out for future videos!

Thank you soooooo much for this video. We've had global entry for a couple of years now, but seemed to only make it once to the Sentri crossing with ease since a lot of the crossing signs are spray painted ( makes me seem that this has been done on purpose for people to direct visitors for money, which we have done before, or to get bribes from cops which has been stated). We should have no problem crossing now! 🤗

I just used your video yesterday. You put an fantastic effort in this video and i highly appreciate this! However, being 2 people in the car watching this video upfront and during driving made us pass the right exit after the coffee sign. At multiple spots we were also insecure about the turns. Perhaps an oedometer count would help. We slowed down the video multiple times to not pass the turns. However that point it isn't a fluid guide no more and in between you accelerated the video. It all confused a little bit, even you did so great. 2nd attempt i helped and we found it. Kindly thank you!!!

First time I ever went to Mexico was several weeks ago, at this crossing. I NEVER want to go back, the roads in Tijuana are absolutely crazy and very poorly marked. My only saving grace was a friendly taxi driver that led me through the maze. Very nice guy.

[@keeldragger]

well done

[@supaneque]

Excellent video. Can you please make a video from Matamoros to Brownville, Tx?

[@georgebishop9765]

That was great. How about making one for Calexico. Thanks

[@homegirlsuccess]

Clear!!!

[@marknolan4609]

getting onto Padre kino is confusing....there are 2 streets you can turn onto....I have missed it twice. You should not have skipped over that part.
