Nice spot to Tirana, probably worth to have a sign in this place.

Easy spot to go to Tirana, Lushnje etc, I was going to Lushnjë. Long walk from the city and sunny

The car have a place to stop, and many traffic to Tirana. Easy

Got picked up almost instantly by a German couple who took me to a town near tirana. Buses would go by and try to get you to go in

Easy to get a ride to Tirana here

Went to Tirana via Elbasan.

The driver turned around for a group of 3, picked us up and drove to Elbasan (he was going to Tirana airport)

Caught a car going to Dürres. Before was offered a ride to Tirana for 20€ (refused) and another ride on a very short distance (refused too)

I was just sitting on a sidewalk (didn't hitch cars) and the second car which was passing by stopped in front of me and its driver gave me a ride to the main road to Tirana.

The first car stopped and drove me to the main road to Tirana (a man went to Shkodër).

Great spot. Lot of tourist and cars are going slow because of the roundabout. Eventually nice Albanian guy took us to Tirana.

One of the first cars I stopped took me directly to Elbasan (I wanted to go there) but he was continuing to Tirana, so if thats your destination this spot might work as well. A lot of space for cars to stop!

Good spot, speed bump slows all the cars down so they have time to look at you. We were really lucky because some hikers we saw in Theth stopped for us and took us to vlora (i had a sign Tirana, wanting to go to tirana and then to some beach)

this is the main road from tirana to korce, everyone goes through here. super long but very scenic drive

for some reason we decided to walk here which took FOREVER, but we ended up getting a quick ride to elbasan. Also felt completely safe on these outskirts of tirana

no space to stop but still got taken by the first car almost to tirana

Good traffic, also off season. We got very lucky with a nice Albanian taking us (2ppl) all the way to Tirana. Had a nice conversation about the Albanian politics.

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 best
