I went to Ohrid from Pogradec. I choosed not to go the way through Saint Naum Monastery, where there is less traffic.Several cars and buses came but they mainly showed me where the buses are. Then I was dropped off at the intersection between the road to Tirana and the one to Ohrid.

If you want to go schkoder/montenegro, DO NOT USE THIS ROAD!!!although it looks more direct, it is a tinyass single track mountain route with basically zero cars, all going super slow. itll take a whole day to get there. stick to the main road (e.g. a car to tirana). get out at the main road junction near lac (there is a good spot) and hitch north from there.
I got out here, hitched part way along, and then realised my mistake and hitched back, losing 5 hours. the first cars here did stop so it is friendly hitching, but its super slow, nobody will go direct to schkoder here.

Slow moving traffic and good space for drivers to stop. Very nice Albanian man picked us up (me + one friend) and insisted on buying us a meal on the way to tirana. also insisted on paying for our bus to the center of tirana. Albanians are the bestrating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 🪧, ride: 105 km ↓

Not the best spot. People are going a little bit fast and there is just a little space to stop.After 30 minutes some older guy on a bike insisted on going with him. So we went to the firts roundabout where he stoppedin the middle. He was stopping the cars and saying them to take us. After few minutes some guy rescued us and took us near Tirana. We are heading to Sarande

Right next to the shuttle service. This looks like a bad spot and I only had a low resolution screenshot of the map so I thought the other green dot was this place. I was almost tempted to take a shuttle to the near village 25 min away (5€, tourist price I guess), but a ride straight to Tirana made me glad I didn't do it.rating: 3/5, wait: 50 min, ride: 84 km ↖

It's a shortcut to off the main road, that goes to Albania. A good space to wait.We were told that's the road people take. After 35 minutes we got a ride to Tirana, so it was a good decision to stand there!

Spot to Tirana on the petrol station. Slow traffic because of the roundabout and good place for cars to stop.―Anonymous, September 2015

Nice place, although there is a lot of buses/minibuses going to Tirana from here. Note that a number of people would want money. Still, you can get good rides here. Had to wait 45 mins but had fun with drivers reacting :)―Mrw.witteveen, September 2015

good spot to go to Durres, Shkoder or Tirana. Its currently (sept 2015) a construction site which offers lots of space for cars to pull over either before or after the gas station.―Anonymous, September 2015
