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-09 through Rava-Ruska; from Hrebenne on the Polish side the S17 runs to Zamość, Lublin and Warsaw. This is the main corridor for anyone heading for northern Poland and on towards the Baltic, so alongside cars there is always a visible share of scheduled coaches.
Of all the crossings we watch on the Polish border, Rava-Ruska shows the sharpest contrast between days of the week. Monday here is among the calmest days on the entire border, while Friday midday produces a peak many times the Monday level. That spread means the average figure for this crossing tells you almost nothing: what matters is not "how busy is it usually" but "when exactly will you arrive".
This makes Rava-Ruska the case where planning pays off most. Moving your departure from Friday to Monday or Tuesday saves more time here than any detour to a neighbouring post. If you must travel on a Friday, an early start genuinely works: the peak here is a midday one rather than a morning one, and before nine the border still clears normally. The typical-week table on this page breaks the load down by hour — for this crossing it is worth reading more carefully than for others.
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 3 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 51 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Yagodyn – Dorohusk).
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 →
