This is the smallest of the crossings on the Hungarian direction: there is neither a coach lane nor freight processing — only cars and pedestrians, and the flow consists almost entirely of local border-area journeys. By volume Dzvinkove trails its neighbours noticeably, and for most of the week the queue is short or absent. The exception is the same as at the other small Hungarian posts — Saturday, when the morning weekend flow lifts the load several times above its weekday level. Even so, Dzvinkove's Saturday peak stays below an ordinary working day at Luzhanka or Chop. That makes the crossing convenient for people who live nearby and are not going far: on weekdays it is almost guaranteed to be clear. For a longer journey Dzvinkove suits less well — the road to it is not the quickest, and the time saved at the border is small precisely because there is so little queue here in the first place. If you are heading for Nyíregyháza or Budapest, it is more sensible to plan for Luzhanka or Chop from the outset. 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 33 min at the fastest one (Vilok – Tisabec). 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.
