## Overview

[Independence Day](https://nakordoni.eu/en/holidays) falls on Wednesday 2026-11-11 in [Poland](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/poland). This brief covers the holiday and the surrounding traffic window, 2026-11-10 – 2026-11-12, and everything in it is a forecast. The holiday is observed in Poland, which drives passenger queues on the [Ukraine–Poland corridor](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/1/2/4). A midweek holiday typically produces two traffic movements: a pre-holiday rush on the eve and a return-trip surge on the day after.

This window shows that pattern most clearly in the Poland to Ukraine direction. Car volumes there peak on Tuesday at two checkpoint pairs and on Thursday at two others. In the Ukraine to Poland direction, the largest car volumes build later, with the busiest days on Wednesday and Thursday.

## Ukraine ↔ Poland

### Day-by-day projection (2026-11-10 – 2026-11-12)

Each row shows the busiest projected date for a checkpoint pair. Rows marked as steady have no meaningful day-to-day difference. The intensity label ranks total forecast volume for the window across all rows and does not indicate a wait time. Where a pair appears twice for one vehicle type, each row links to its own forecast series.

## How to use this forecast

Queues are projected to remain lighter outside the peak windows listed above. These windows can be compared with the [live Ukraine–Poland queue page](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/1/2/4) before departure, because conditions at the border can change. Each [border crossing with Ukraine](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_10) also has its own page on nakordoni.eu.
