All

San Ysidro, between San Diego in California and the Mexican city of Tijuana, is known as one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. Interstate 5 runs south straight to the port of entry, and large numbers of workers, students and visitors use the route every day.

This camera from Caltrans District 11, the California Department of Transportation, shows southbound I-5 traffic near Via de San Ysidro heading toward Mexico. The image is refreshed at intervals. Weekends, holidays and evenings tend to be busy, so it is handy for checking traffic before approaching the border.
