These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Diakivtsi 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 Real Data Increased Load [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_45/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Diakivtsi - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 30.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Diakivtsi - 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).

One driver rated the experience 3 out of 5 and reported a total of about 3 hours from arriving at the approach road to finally exiting on the Romanian side. That same reviewer noted the route involves a detour compared with more direct crossings, but concluded it was worth the extra distance — a sentiment that captures the general tone of the reviews: not fast, but predictable and less congested than the busier alternatives. The most valuable contribution is a practical navigation tip, given a full 5 out of 5. Travelers report that satellite navigation systems do not reliably route to Diakivtsi by that name. The recommendation is to enter "Прикордонний пункт Раковець" (Rakovets border checkpoint) as the destination instead, which produces a correct and usable route to the crossing point. The emerging pattern is clear: Diakivtsi suits drivers willing to accept a longer approach and a roughly three-hour crossing window in exchange for avoiding heavier traffic. Plan for that duration, verify your navigation destination before departure, and treat the detour as a deliberate trade-off rather than an inconvenience. ⭐ 4.0/5 2 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Diakivtsi, 4.3 ★★★★☆ 3 reviews All Positive Negative Ольга ★★★☆☆ Дяківці - 3 години від підʼїзду до кордону до виїзду в Румунії.
