This crossing opened considerably later than its neighbours, specifically to take pressure off Krakivets and Shehyni, which by then could no longer handle the traffic. It is still noticeably less well known than either of the older posts, and many drivers simply do not think of it when planning a route. That low profile makes Hrushiv behave quite differently from the large crossings nearby. Early in the week it is often nearly empty — a queue of a few cars is an ordinary Monday here, not an exception. By the end of the week the picture reverses: Friday is consistently the heaviest day, and by midday the flow becomes comparable to Krakivets. So this is not an "always clear" crossing, but one with a very uneven week. The practical conclusion is simple. If you travel in the first half of the week, Hrushiv almost always beats its neighbours — both on the queue and because the drive from Lviv is not much longer. On Fridays and before public holidays, check that advantage against live data rather than habit: at peak hours the gap with Krakivets disappears, and sometimes runs the other way. This crossing handles: Cars, Buses. There is no pedestrian lane here: only 1 of the 9 crossings on this border let you walk across. Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own. Right now it ranks 8 of the 9 crossings on this border that report data: 4:27 outbound against 45 min at the fastest one (Smilnytsia – Krosstsenko). 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.
