The crossing is small and lives mainly on border-area movement, though the mix of categories is wider than at its neighbours: besides cars it processes coaches and pedestrians. Proximity to the railway junction gives Sokyriany a somewhat different character from the purely rural posts nearby: some people come here not for a trip into Moldova as such, but to reach the station at Ocnița. It is a crossing with a destination of its own rather than a link in a longer route. There is no live queue on this page — telemetry from Sokyriany does not reach us, and we do not fill the gap with approximate figures. The nearest post with real data is Mamalyha, and beyond it Mohyliv-Podilskyi; if you need to gauge the situation in advance, look at those. And remember the general rule for this stretch: at weekends and on public holidays every crossing in northern Moldova loads up more or less in step, so a long queue at Mamalyha is reason to allow extra time here as well. This crossing handles: Cars, Buses, On foot. You can cross here on foot — 4 of the 9 crossings on this border allow it. Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own. Right now it ranks 4 of the 8 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Kelmentsi – Larga). 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.
