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 Kosyno – Barabash

Zakarpattia, the Berehove area; the Hungarian side is Barabás. A quiet crossing for cars and pedestrians, geared more to local movement than to long journeys. Kosyno is known for its thermal baths, and that noticeably shapes the profile of the post: part of the flow here is not people leaving the country but weekend trips in both directions.

This is why Kosyno's weekly pattern differs from the small crossings around it. The peak comes not only on Saturday morning but again at Sunday midday — you can see both the outbound leisure trip and the return from it. On working days, particularly midweek, the crossing is among the calmest on the Hungarian direction.

For planning that means the following: if your own trip falls at the weekend, Kosyno will be busy exactly when you need it. In that case either set off ahead of the main wave, or watch Barabás on the live queue and keep Luzhanka in reserve, since it takes all categories and clears them faster. On weekdays, though, it is one of the most comfortable options in the region.

This crossing handles: Cars, On foot.

You can cross here on foot — 5 of the 6 crossings on this border allow it.

There is no separate coach lane here.

Right now it ranks 3 of the 6 crossings on this border that report data: 33 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Dzvinkove – Lonya).

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 →
