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, near Sokyriany; the Moldovan side is Ocnița, a railway junction well known in the region. The crossing is small and lives mainly on border-area movement, though the mix of categories is wider than at its neighbours: besides cars it processes coaches and pedestrians.
Proximity to the railway junction gives Sokyriany a somewhat different character from the purely rural posts nearby: some people come here not for a trip into Moldova as such, but to reach the station at Ocnița. It is a crossing with a destination of its own rather than a link in a longer route.
There is no live queue on this page — telemetry from Sokyriany does not reach us, and we do not fill the gap with approximate figures. The nearest post with real data is Mamalyha, and beyond it Mohyliv-Podilskyi; if you need to gauge the situation in advance, look at those. And remember the general rule for this stretch: at weekends and on public holidays every crossing in northern Moldova loads up more or less in step, so a long queue at Mamalyha is reason to allow extra time here as well.
This crossing handles: Cars, Buses, On foot.
You can cross here on foot — 4 of the 9 crossings on this border allow it.
Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own.
Right now it ranks 5 of the 8 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min 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 →
