Moderate traffic 40 km/h ## Solotvyno: Ukrainian border-guard shift change at the Ukrainian–Romanian border — when and how long to wait Border guard shift change on the Ukrainian side of **Solotvyno** happens **twice a day — at 08:00 and 20:00** local time. These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Solotvyno typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross **30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after** the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status. The neighboring Romania checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same **08:00 and 20:00**. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — **about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ##### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours No queue detected — crossing without delays [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_38/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Solotvyno - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 30.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Solotvyno - passenger car checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** The number of vehicles during Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00).

Both reviewers provide positive feedback (4 and 5 stars) and confirm that pedestrian crossing is readily available with minimal waiting times, making it an efficient option for walkers. However, the checkpoint implements strict vehicle restrictions during specific hours—cars are not permitted to cross between 9 AM and 3 PM. This timing-based restriction appears deliberate and consistent across both reviews, likely due to maintenance or operational constraints. One reviewer notes that a portion of the bridge infrastructure is blocked, which explains these vehicle limitations. The restriction is predictable and operational, rather than caused by congestion. For travelers planning vehicle crossings, it is recommended to avoid the 9-15 hour window. Overall, Solotvyno offers a well-organized crossing experience with clear, consistent restrictions that users can plan around. Pedestrians benefit from reliable 24/7 access with prompt passage times. ⭐ 4.5/5 2 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Solotvyno, 4.5 ★★★★★ 2 reviews All Positive Negative Андрій ★★★★☆ Піший перетин працює цілодобово, автомобілі не пропускають з 9 до 15 години Ольга ★★★★★ Сьогодні біля 12 переходила.
