Most of the cars are turing around here or stopping at the grocery store. But we needed to go to kuqishte. But some guy eventually stopped. A lot of space to pull over. But kinda need to stand at the end of parking lot because before it its a blind corner so they dont see you.rating: 4/5, wait: 25 min π, ride: 4 km β

There is no space for a car to stop but it's Albania so who cares. The car was going to Kosovo. I was heading to Valbona via Bairam Curri. The driver said that the majority of cars go there via Kosovo nowadays. I couldn't go there so had to stick to the old road.rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min π, ride: 9 km β

WTF MACEDONIA???I got up super early, whipped out a sign saying kosovo and stood by this nice slow traffic packed highway with good visibility, a big smile and a ton of space to pullover, and NOBODY STOPPED??? One guy did pullover but wouldnt talk to me, he just looked at me dumbly, rubbed his fingers wanting money and drove off. I also had one A hole who did the fake pullover then acellerate off laughing like a total twat. I changed spots and got picked up eventually, but again, 3 hours in a good spot with tons of slow traffic is ridiculous. Hopefully it'll be better for you.

Cars were quite hesitant to take me across the border (lots of diaspora people headed for kosovo with full cars). Locals were very kind and let me camp by the mosque in Dacici. Finally got a ride after crossing the first border checkpoint on foot the next morning. Beautiful nature though.rating: 2/5, ride: 25 km β

on the 25th of December it was totally abandoned, 1 car / 10 minutes. So I decided to walk to the VERY end of this place and stand on the border of the motorway, where cars are passing fast but... I had to survive somehow the -5C degrees, right?! :D I got a ride after standing on the edge in 2 minutes, by a guy coming from Kosovo. Good luck everybody!βAdrianB, December 2016

Direction Kosovo, either ask people at the gas station (but it's quiet, so I wouldn't advise that), or hitch directly on the road with plenty of place to stop and good visibility.βAnonymous, July 2016
