When the border traffic backs up too much (almost always in the daytime on the weekends) Mexican cops will close down the on-ramp to the border line to prevent further traffic build-up. When that happens you need to find another way to the border. Not knowing your way around is not good in that situation! I have had bad luck with the border backup in Otay on the weekends as well. Hiring more donut eaters to help with the tourist crush on weekends seems like a simple solution, but then again, what do I know? I have no idea what may have happened with the cops refusing to let people get off in the US. It does seem pretty weird that you would be forced to enter Mexico. Technically if you could manage to get all the way left there is a turn-around area, but that is easier said than done with a big traffic backup.
