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
Lviv region, on the M-10 (E40) out of Lviv; on the Polish side the A4 motorway to Rzeszów and Kraków begins at Korczowa. That junction defines the character of the crossing: the traffic here is less local border movement than long-distance travel — to western Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany. For many drivers Krakivets is simply the first crossing the satnav offers when the destination lies deep inside Europe.
The consequence is the highest average flow of any crossing we measure on the Polish border. There is almost no genuinely quiet day apart from Monday: from Tuesday the load climbs and stays high through Sunday, and evenings turn out to be no lighter than daytime. At the same time our processing-pace calibration puts Krakivets among the two fastest posts — the queue moves well, there is simply a lot of it.
So the advice here differs from the advice for small crossings. The "arrive an hour earlier" tactic barely works: the difference between neighbouring hours is small, while the difference between days of the week is large. If the date can be moved, Monday gives the biggest gain. If it cannot, it is worth comparing Krakivets against Hrushiv and Shehyni on the live queue: they are close by, and on peak days one of them is almost always the better bet.
This crossing handles: Cars, Buses.
There is no pedestrian lane here: only 1 of the 9 crossings on this border let you walk across.
Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own.
Right now it ranks 7 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 7:35 outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Yagodyn – Dorohusk).
Our calibration allows 4 minutes per car here. Across all crossings that constant runs from 4 to 10 minutes, and 28 of them are slower than this one.
Hence the formula for this crossing: 15 minutes for the crossing itself plus 4 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 →
