## About Malhowice – Nyzhankovychi

Malhowice–Nyzhankovychi is a crossing south of Przemyśl, linking the area around that city with the Sambir district of the Lviv region. It handles cars (including the EU→UA category), buses and light trucks up to 3.5 t in both directions. For people in and around Przemyśl it is a way of avoiding nearby Medyka, usually the busiest crossing.

Sixty days of measurements show that driving into Ukraine takes about 40 minutes on average: around twenty minutes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, close to an hour on Saturdays and over an hour on Sundays, especially in the early afternoon. Entering Poland is slower – about an hour and a half on average; under an hour on Mondays and Tuesdays, but from Thursday to Saturday the typical wait exceeds two hours. Nights are quickest, mornings through afternoons the slowest. Buses leaving Poland wait longest on Saturdays; buses heading into Poland usually do not wait, but on Saturday mornings they can stand for many hours.

The best window for returning is the night or early in the week; plan trips into Ukraine for a Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend afternoons and the end of the week are the worst times in both directions. The alternative is Krościenko–Smilnytsia, with much shorter average times both ways; nearby Medyka–Shehyni is statistically the slowest on the whole border.
