The situation at the borders in the last 24 hours

On 04.08.2021, approximately 160,000 people, Romanian and foreign citizens, carried out the control formalities through the border points at the level of the entire country with over 43,300 means of transport (out of which 13,600 were trucks). On the entrance direction there were approximately 82,600 people with 20,900 means of transport, and on the exit direction 77,400 people with 10,300 means of transport.

The border with Hungary was crossed by approximately 41,200 people and 19,100 means of transport (6,300 trucks), of which on the way out of the country there were about 22,900 people with 10,300 means of transport.

The border police are working at the maximum capacity allowed by the infrastructure of the crossing points.  Currently the traffic is running smoothly without any waiting times. We recommend to the traffic participants the transit of all points open to international traffic, so as to avoid the occurrence of overloads of only some of them.

Information on the situation of border points open to international traffic can be found on the online Traffic application which can be accessed at http://www.politiadefrontiera.ro/traficonline/.
