Excellent Road report from Cabo to Tijuana (not mine)
Cabo to TJ Road report
Forum Discussion
Two ears and a tail navegator!
You come into Tijuana along the border fence.
Without much warning a sign with arrow to SAN DIEGO prompts to make a right turn. This is ONE SHORT BLOCK. Get to the left lane ASAP.
The very next street you have to make a LEFT and cars are swirling like moths around a candle. Be careful making that left. Drivers here act like they are on drugs. Fifty, sixty miles an hour right to left on that one-way cross street. No fooling watch for idiots behind you climbing onto the sidewalk to your left and damned near mowing down pedestrians shortcutting to jump the curb again to make that left. Another trick is the guy to your right, taking off the microsecond you do, then cutting 90 degrees left straight across your bow.
Not very long after you make this hazardous LEFT TURN you will have to make another left. So be ready. Stay in the left lane.
Now this street is where extra vigilance is needed. Coming up ahead is that J barrier Navegator described. It splits the wide one way street into two branches.
The SAN DIEGO with arrow points right down to the precise center wall of the start of the J barrier. Fun huh?
Jockey to place the J barrier to your right but don't get fancy and drift too many lanes to the left because the signed with arrow exit Navegator described appears suddenly on the right and you do know Tijuana drivers - five cars jammed where three should fit. You'd get squeezed out. Keep that concrete J barrier right next to your right side until you make that exit.
The exit is a sharp climbing spiral. Once you are on the exit you can't go wrong. Whether you like it or not you are headed to the border and there is no way you can screw up from here on out.
