It is the largest of the three Slovak posts and the only one used by scheduled coaches; for the people of Uzhhorod it is effectively the city's way out of the country, a few minutes' drive from the edge of town. The mix of urban and transit movement gives it a rhythm of its own. The heaviest day is Saturday, with a long plateau rather than a short peak: the load stays high through most of the daylight hours instead of concentrating in the morning. Friday morning brings a separate surge, as those leaving for the weekend add to the usual flow. Midweek is lightest, particularly Thursday. Since Uzhhorod is the main post on the direction, a simple strategy applies: change the hour rather than the crossing. Both alternatives — Malyi Bereznii and the pedestrian-only Mali Selmentsi — are either smaller in capacity or do not take cars at all, so there is little real relief to be had from them. The exception is when Uzhhorod is backed up for hours; on a weekday, Malyi Bereznii can genuinely win then. This crossing handles: Cars, Buses, On foot. You can cross here on foot — 3 of the 3 crossings on this border allow it. Scheduled coaches have a lane of their own. Right now it ranks 3 of the 3 crossings on this border that report data: 33 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Malyi Bereznii – Ubla). 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.
