## What kind of crossing this is

Zakarpattia, Uzhhorod district, on the mountain road along the Uzh; the Slovak side is Ubľa. A small crossing without a coach lane, intended above all for local movement and for those heading into eastern Slovakia away from the main route.

Its weekly profile is shifted towards the end of the week more strongly than most of its neighbours: Friday, Saturday and Sunday are loaded almost equally, while Tuesday and Wednesday are the quietest. The main peak comes at Sunday midday, when the people who spent the weekend on the other side come back through Malyi Bereznii.

Malyi Bereznii is often treated as the bypass option for Uzhhorod, and on weekdays that genuinely works. But the same trap applies here as at other small posts: the road along the Uzh is slow and processing is not fast, so the detour only pays when the queue at Uzhhorod is truly long. At weekends the advantage disappears almost entirely — on Sunday Malyi Bereznii can be just as loaded as the main crossing, with far less capacity to clear it.

This crossing handles: Cars, On foot.

You can cross here on foot — 3 of the 3 crossings on this border allow it.

There is no separate coach lane here.

Right now this is the fastest crossing on its border: 15 min outbound.

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.
