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
Chernivtsi region, the Carpathian foothills beyond Storozhynets; the Romanian side is Vicovu de Sus. The crossing is smaller and calmer than Porubne, and convenient for trips into northern Romania without the detour via the main route; besides cars it processes coaches and pedestrians.
By load Krasnoilsk is one of the quietest posts on the Romanian direction: on Wednesday and Friday there is practically no queue at all. But it has a characteristic anomaly found nowhere else nearby — a noticeable surge on Monday evening. For most crossings Monday is the lightest day, whereas here it is precisely the evening hours at the start of the week that carry the heaviest load.
This is worth noting especially for anyone used to planning "for Monday" as a general rule. At Krasnoilsk that rule works in reverse: daytime at the start of the week is good, but the evening is best avoided. The rest of the time the crossing offers one of the most comfortable ways into Romania for people from the Storozhynets area — provided the mountain road to it suits you.
This crossing handles: Cars, Buses, On foot.
You can cross here on foot — 5 of the 6 crossings on this border allow it.
Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own.
Right now it ranks 3 of the 6 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Diakove – Halmeu).
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 →
