These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of buses at Yagodyn 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. At the neighboring Poland checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Poland is on Central European Time — one hour behind Kyiv — so there it falls around **07:00 and 19:00 Kyiv time**. Because the two shifts overlap, the slowdown stretches into wider windows on both sides: **roughly 07:00–08:30 in the morning and 19:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). During these intervals, processing on both sides can noticeably slow down. ## 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_59/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Yagodyn - bus checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 30.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Yagodyn - bus checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** The number of vehicles during Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00).

Nearly everyone crossing by bus toward Poland reports the same core frustration: the wait to exit into Poland is far longer than the Ukrainian side. Reported total crossing times for both borders range widely, from a fast 1.5-3 hours on quiet nights to a punishing 8-12 hours during peak periods, with several reviewers citing 4-7 hours stuck on the Polish side alone. Queues are measured in buses: a good night is 3-4 buses ahead, while bad days saw 15-28 buses waiting, with one report of only a single bus cleared in several hours. The electronic queue system drew specific criticism for being slow and glitchy, especially overnight. A recurring pattern is that crossings after 22:00 take dramatically longer, and full luggage scans plus suitcase inspections add time. On the positive side, off-peak and early-morning crossings (around 06:50-09:00) were praised, with the Ukrainian side sometimes cleared in 30-40 minutes. Practical tips from reviewers: aim to enter the border before 22:00, expect longer waits with children (one advised taking the train instead for comfort), and note that Polish shift changes around 09:00 can suddenly speed things up. Overall, expect delays toward Poland and plan for early, non-peak timing. ⭐ 3.1/5 30 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Yagodyn, 3.0 ★★★☆☆ 38 reviews All Positive Negative Оксана ★★☆☆☆ Вночі стояла з 21 до 1 ночі, 2 автобуси перед нами. . Система і тоді вимахувалась, але з горем навпіл працювала. . Дуже довго. В сторону України дуже і дуже довго. То, мабуть, 4 години в порівнянні з тим, що люди в сторону Польщі вже 11 стоять, ще прекрасно Анастасія ★★★☆☆ до 22:00 заїзд в кордон, бо після 22 вже як показує практика все набагато довше Олександр ★★★★★ Їхала з Луцьку. Володимир-ТрансMyWay о 9:20. По графіку він прибуває в шопена в 17:20, о 18:10 я вже була на місці. Український і польський кордон пройшли відносно швидко Андрій ★★★★☆ Доброї ночі, стоїмо з 23.40 перед кордоном ( електронна черга з 01.00 до 03.00 те що сказав водій) на даний момент заїхали на українську зону то ми 4ті і 1 автобус( флікс) вже під навісом проходить. Maryna ★☆☆☆☆ Приїхали о півночі, зараз лише (04:12) почали проходити контроль. Сказали всім вийти з автобуса із речами. Раджу уникати такої подорожі, особливо, якщо ви з дітьми. Довелось дітей о 4й ночі будити, одягати швидко і виходити... У потязі більше комфорту і по-людяному, тому краще обирайте потяги This review(s) reflects the subjective opinion of a service user, and not the official position of NaKordoni.eu. ## Contacts & Map ## Contacts and address of checkpoint Yagodyn Address: 44350, Ukraine, Volyn region, Lubomlsky district, village Starovoytove (44350, Україна, Волинська обл., Любомльський р-н, с.
