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, the Vynohradiv direction, a bridge over the Tysa; the Hungarian side is Tiszabecs. A small crossing for cars and pedestrians, sustained by trips from Vynohradiv and Khust, and it sees almost no traffic heading deeper into Europe.
The weekly rhythm here is very telling. From Monday to Thursday Vilok is among the calmest posts in Zakarpattia, and then on Saturday morning the flow multiplies several times over — the classic weekend run towards the Hungarian towns and back. The peak falls precisely in Saturday's morning hours, when everyone sets off at roughly the same time; by the afternoon of the same day it is already noticeably easier.
That makes Vilok worth using "against the current". On a weekday it is a fast, convenient option for the Vynohradiv area, often better than the larger crossings nearby. On Saturday, though, the difference between eight o'clock and two o'clock is greater than the difference between the crossings themselves: shifting your departure a few hours later usually gains more than detouring to Velyka Palad or Dzvinkove. For pedestrians the bridge over the Tysa stays open through the peak hours too.
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 2 of the 6 crossings on this border that report data: 33 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Dzvinkove – Lonya).
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 →
