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😂
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.
The road to the border is not very good, I drove in winter, but there are advantages, there is no queue. Refueling will be only after Orsha, it is better to refuel in Smolensk.
Great, not many people. We were driving from Smolensk using the navigator and after the next settlement suddenly there was a barrier and a border post. The border guards are very polite, showed their passports, opened the trunk and let's go to Belarus!
An interesting place. At first glance, you would not say that the border. So there is a barrier in the middle of the road :) But no, everything is as it should be.
I plan to travel to the Russian Federation, but they didn't let me....I left only through the central customs office. The post of the Russian Federation with a wooden goat - barrier is wildness at the present time!!!
5 stars for arrival from Belarus and 2 for departure) Customs officers may not have anything to do with it, they have instructions, but the laws are tin
