How the 1–5 index is calculated

We ask our own nakordoni.eu API for air-raid alerts within 250 km of this crossing’s coordinates. The source ties alerts to raions and we place each one on the centre of its oblast — so the distance in the table is the distance to the centre of that region, not to the alert itself.

The index takes the closer of two things: the nearest region under an active alert, and the nearest tracked airborne object. 5 means closer than 50 km, 4 up to 100 km, 3 up to 160 km, 2 up to 220 km, 1 up to 250 km. If the alert is in the very region this crossing stands in, the index is never below 4 — that is the region you are driving into.

The data is deliberately not real-time: the API answers with a 1–3 minute delay, plus up to 90 seconds of our own cache. The exact time of the snapshot is always stated above.

What kind of crossing this is

Border crossing Kelmentsi – Larga

Chernivtsi region, Dnistrovskyi district; the Moldovan side is Larga. A small crossing geared to local movement and trips into northern Moldova, processing cars, coaches and pedestrians. There is no large transit flow here: the main routes to Chișinău run further south, through Mohyliv-Podilskyi.

This page differs from the others in one respect: it carries no waiting time. We receive no telemetry from Kelmentsi, and we will not substitute an approximate estimate for a measured figure — an invented number on a border website is worse than a dash, because people plan real journeys around it. So where other pages show a queue, this one shows an explanation.

What to do about it in practice. The nearest posts that do send us live data are Mamalyha and Mohyliv-Podilskyi, and at peak times it is wiser to steer by those: they lie in the same direction, so their load describes the situation along the whole stretch reasonably well. If your route allows a choice, on peak days it is more reliable to travel deliberately through a crossing with data than blindly through one where you will discover the queue only on arrival.

This crossing handles: Cars, Buses, On foot.

You can cross here on foot — 4 of the 9 crossings on this border allow it.

Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own.

Our calibration allows 6 minutes per car here. Across all crossings that constant runs from 4 to 10 minutes, and 4 of them are slower than this one.

Hence the formula for this crossing: 15 minutes for the crossing itself plus 6 minutes for every car ahead of you. Document checks, customs inspection and delays on the neighbouring side are not in that number — we count the queue only. The full method, and what this figure leaves out →
