## About Korchova – Krakivets

Korczowa–Krakovets is where the A4 motorway ends; on the Ukrainian side the M10 highway runs from Krakovets to Lviv. The crossing is in Jarosław county near Radymno, and for many drivers from western and southern Poland it is the obvious choice. It handles cars (including the EU→UA category), buses and trucks in both directions.

That convenience comes at a price: over 60 days it was the second-slowest crossing on the Ukrainian border. Driving into Ukraine takes about an hour and a half on average – under an hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, over two on Saturdays and close to three on Sundays. Mornings are quickest. Entering Poland averages around three hours, shortest on Mondays (about an hour and a half) and close to four on Fridays and Saturdays, with evenings the worst. Buses can wait many hours here in both directions – outbound especially on Sundays, inbound especially on Saturdays.

If you can choose your dates, return on a Monday and leave on a Tuesday or Thursday morning. Weekends are the worst time in both directions. When the queue is long, consider Budomierz–Hrushiv or Hrebenne–Rava-Ruska: both have clearly shorter average times leaving and entering Poland, although they mean leaving the motorway.
