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, near Dobromyl; the Polish side is Malhowice, already on the doorstep of Przemyśl. This is one of the youngest and at the same time smallest crossings on the Polish direction: there are few lanes, and processing is noticeably slower than at Krakivets. In exchange, very little road remains between the border and Przemyśl, so for a trip to that city the location is ideal.
The weekly profile here is distinctive and unlike that of the big transit posts. Monday and Tuesday are quiet, while the peak falls on Saturday morning — classic weekend movement: shopping, family visits, a short run into Przemyśl and back the same day. Almost no traffic passes through Nyzhankovychi heading deeper into Poland, which is precisely why weekdays stay calm.
A detour here makes sense on working days, or when Przemyśl itself is your destination. On Saturday morning the advantage evaporates, and there is an important subtlety: a small post with slow processing fills up faster than a large one, so a hundred cars at Nyzhankovychi costs more time than the same hundred at Shehyni. At weekends, check the live queue at Shehyni and Krakivets first — they often turn out faster even with a longer line.
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 6 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 3:35 outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Yagodyn – Dorohusk).
Our calibration allows 10 minutes per car here. Across all crossings that constant runs from 4 to 10 minutes, and 0 of them are slower than this one.
Hence the formula for this crossing: 15 minutes for the crossing itself plus 10 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 →
