We went around the main customs office to avoid standing in line. While we were driving here, we thought we got lost because there were no cars on the road at all. The customs itself is like from the past - one border guard and a manual iron barrier. But the passage does not take any time at all, so it is quite a good option.
A small customs post. If you are traveling from Smolensk, the road is narrow, but there are practically no cars on it. If you suddenly did not get insurance, then after the barrier on the Belarusian side, there is an insurer's trailer on the left. It is better to pay in cash, you can also use a Savings card. For passenger cars, insurance is 1300 rubles.
We passed the border in 1.5 minutes) the road was already dirty in the Russian Federation, of course, but it is better to drive 20 km on a bad road than to stand for 4 hours 1 km on a good road😂
