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/.
