For the residents of Solotvyno the Romanian town on the opposite bank is quite literally next door: the distance between the two banks is shorter than the drive to their own district centre. This is the quietest crossing of all those we measure. On an ordinary day there is no queue here at all — not "a small one", but genuinely none, and that holds for most of the week. The post takes cars and pedestrians, and a significant share of the flow is people walking across the bridge in both directions, sometimes several times a week. Solotvyno is therefore best regarded as the convenient choice rather than the fast one — fast it almost always is. Its constraints lie elsewhere: you cannot come through by coach or lorry, and the road along the Tysa is not built for heavy transit. If you are heading deep into Romania with a trailer or as a large group by coach, plan for Diakove or Porubne; but if you simply need to get to the other side, there is no better option in the region. 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 4 of the 6 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Diakove – Halmeu). 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.
