SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Mexican demonstrators blocked or slowed traffic near at least four busy entry points along the United States's southern border on Monday to protest against new Mexican fees and rules on imports of used cars from the United States.

The Veterans International Bridge between Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico remained closed on Monday evening, U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Roger Maier said.

Traffic was clearing around 7:30 p.m. at the Otay Mesa entry point in San Diego, where protesters started blocking the Mexican approach in the morning, Otay customs officials said.

As late as 8 p.m., the cargo lanes at the port of entry between Calexico and Mexicali also remained closed, customs officials confirmed.
