Find out which crossing gets you into the EU faster, and when your own car will be called. Live queues at every road crossing from Belarus to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia: Brest – Terespol, Berestovitsa – Bobrowniki, Bruzgi – Kuźnica, Benyakoni, Kamenny Log – Medininkai, Kotlovka, Grigorovshchina. The forecast counts both the queue and your drive to the crossing, and when your turn comes you get a loud alert or a phone call. WHAT IT DOES • Compare crossings. How many cars are waiting, how many are called per hour, how long our forecast says you will wait, and how far the crossing is from you. One screen instead of five browser tabs. • Join the electronic queue. Car, request, payment — three steps in the app. Payment goes through the national ERIP system: the queue fee is collected by the state service, not by us. • Track your car. Position, call forecast and queue speed update on their own. When your turn comes, a loud alert arrives even if the phone is on silent. • Crossing stages. Belarusian side, neutral zone, EU side: the app prompts what to do and how long each stage usually takes. • Watch (sold separately). The phone sits in a mount facing the car in front and wakes you when it moves off. Works without internet, right there in the queue. • Wake-up call (sold separately). An ordinary phone call when your turn is near — it cuts through silent mode. • Weather at the crossing, opening hours, and which documents to prepare. STRAIGHT TALK We are an independent app and are not affiliated with any government body. The queue is run by the state system; we show its data and help you work with it. The wait forecast is an estimate based on queue history, not a promise: we do not control the border. One direction for now: from Belarus to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, passenger cars.
