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
Odesa region, the far south-west of the country, on the M-15 from Odesa; the Moldovan side is Giurgiulești, with Romanian Galați just beyond. This is the meeting point of three borders and a Danube port at the same time, so the movement here is more complex than at an ordinary crossing: port and transit logic are layered on top of ordinary journeys.
Processing at Reni is slower than average, and that is the main thing to allow for. A queue of ten cars costs more time here than the same queue at the fast posts on the Polish direction, so you need a buffer even when there is almost nobody ahead of you. By day of the week the heaviest is Thursday, with Monday and Saturday the calmest; Sunday evening brings a separate late surge.
Another distinctive feature is its position. From here you can continue into either Moldova or Romania, so the post gathers flows with different purposes, and the make-up of the queue ahead of you can vary a great deal. If your route leads specifically into Romania, it is worth comparing this option with the Orlivka – Isaccea ferry: it is closer to Izmail and sometimes proves faster, though it depends on the sailing timetable.
This crossing handles: Cars.
There is no pedestrian lane here: only 4 of the 9 crossings on this border let you walk across.
There is no separate coach lane here.
Right now it ranks 5 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 1:05 outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Kelmentsi – Larga).
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 →
