User Reviews

User experiences at Ustyluh checkpoint reveal mixed satisfaction with significant challenges. The average crossing time from queue entry to border completion ranges from 2-4 hours under normal conditions, though some users reported waits exceeding 8 hours during peak periods. A critical issue identified across multiple reviews is queue manipulation, with locals allegedly selling positions for 1,000 UAH per 15-vehicle increment. Polish border officials conduct thorough inspections, frequently directing vehicles to scanning equipment or inspection pits, which contributes to slower processing rates (approximately 20 vehicles per hour). Users report that Polish customs examines not just documentation but vehicle components including spare parts. The right-hand lane reportedly operates with selective inspections, while the left lane processes more smoothly. Bridge construction and road markings have periodically affected traffic flow. Experienced travelers recommend departing at 5 AM to minimize queue lengths and avoid shift changes. The checkpoint experiences severe congestion during midday and evening hours, particularly on routes toward Warsaw.
