The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has flagged **five road border crossing points** where traffic was building up as of 30 October 2024. On Ukraine's western frontier delays are rarely spread evenly: a handful of large crossings absorb most of the flow while smaller ones nearby stay almost empty.

##### Where queues usually form:

These five crossings handle the bulk of car traffic between Ukraine and the EU. Checking the load before you set off is normally worth more than a detour improvised at the barrier.

###### 🇵🇱 Poland:

- **Shehyni** — Medyka: the busiest passenger crossing, peaking in the morning and late evening.
- **Rava-Ruska** — Hrebenne: the main alternative for cars heading towards Lublin and Warsaw.

###### 🇸🇰 Slovakia:

- **Uzhhorod** — Vysne Nemecke: the only road crossing for cars on this section, so a single wave of traffic is enough to create a queue.

###### 🇭🇺 Hungary:

- **Chop (Tysa)** — Zahony: heaviest at weekends; nearby Luzhanka and Vylok often clear faster.

###### 🇷🇴 Romania:

- **Porubne** — Siret: the main gateway to Romania, concentrating traffic from Bukovyna.

##### What drivers should do:

- Before leaving, compare the load at your intended crossing with the neighbouring one.
- Have passports, vehicle documents and insurance ready in advance — it shortens time in the lane.
- Avoid Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, when the flow is densest.
- Carry fuel reserve, water and medication: queues can last hours with no facilities.
