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
Zakarpattia, Tiachiv district, a bridge over the Tysa; the Romanian side is Sighetu Marmației. For the residents of Solotvyno the Romanian town on the opposite bank is quite literally next door: the distance between the two banks is shorter than the drive to their own district centre.
This is the quietest crossing of all those we measure. On an ordinary day there is no queue here at all — not "a small one", but genuinely none, and that holds for most of the week. The post takes cars and pedestrians, and a significant share of the flow is people walking across the bridge in both directions, sometimes several times a week.
Solotvyno is therefore best regarded as the convenient choice rather than the fast one — fast it almost always is. Its constraints lie elsewhere: you cannot come through by coach or lorry, and the road along the Tysa is not built for heavy transit. If you are heading deep into Romania with a trailer or as a large group by coach, plan for Diakove or Porubne; but if you simply need to get to the other side, there is no better option in the region.
This crossing handles: Cars, On foot.
You can cross here on foot — 5 of the 6 crossings on this border allow it.
There is no separate coach lane here.
Right now it ranks 4 of the 6 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Diakove – Halmeu).
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 →
