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
Vinnytsia region; Mohyliv-Podilskyi stands on the Dniester directly opposite the Moldovan bank. This is the main crossing from the Vinnytsia region towards Moldova, taking cars, scheduled coaches and lorries, and the principal road to Chișinău from central Ukraine runs through it.
The load profile at Mohyliv-Podilskyi is the most dramatic on the entire Moldovan direction. Thursday can be very quiet, while on Sunday evening the queue is capable of growing to levels no other post on this stretch reaches — a dense return wave, as everyone heads home in the closing hours of the weekend at roughly the same time.
The conclusion is unambiguous: avoid Mohyliv-Podilskyi on Sunday evening at almost any cost. Leaving on Sunday morning, or moving the trip to Monday, gains more time here than at any other crossing into Moldova. If catching that wave is unavoidable, allow a buffer of several hours — and note that the neighbouring posts to the north send no live data, so checking an alternative in real time will not be possible.
This crossing handles: Cars, Buses.
There is no pedestrian lane here: only 4 of the 9 crossings on this border let you walk across.
Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own.
Right now it ranks 3 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 1:03 outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Kelmentsi – Larga).
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 →
