And 7t, why are you always so upset i don´t get? We in Bulgaria have bad roadinfrastructure aswell.

We are upset too,although we have something like 900km. Its just that humans dont really think it is good what they have. Humans always want more. Thats our nature

have you been on the dirt roads in albania? i have and i don't think they'd suit the locals given the surprisingly large amount of motor traffic on these dirt roads. they were large sections of these elevated dirt roads that were barely wide enough for 2 cars, and there would be large semi-trailers going in both directions.

Come on people... let's be realistic!
Albania roads in general are really bad. Maybe even the worst in Europe.

But that's understandable taken into account Albania's recent history!

Now it's time to work to improve that, and looking at the future with optimism!

Let's hope that in some years the roads will be much better!

A "national" road (E-6) in developed Norway:

Yeah i guess there was an accident there with total blocking of all lanes.

All cars can turn there and went back for another route, but trucks can't and have to wait.
I saw that once on the Dutch N35 near Raalte. Looks kinda weird, a road with only trucks.

Qtya, your images upset me.
They look like they were taken sometime in the 1800s.

[KIWIKAAS]

Or Greece in the 1970s?

That was the point I was trying to make. Road quality is not a/the only sign of a country's "developedness". In the photo there had been an accident, but it's of a road that links two "major" cities, and that's it, there are no more lanes or alternative roads.

You should be also realistic too.

Are these really the worst roads in Europe???

Tiranë - Fushë Krujë


Fushë Krujë - Krujë


Fushë Krujë - Mother Teresa Airport






Mother Teresa Airport - Tiranë








Tiranë - Shkodër




Lezhë-Velipojë






Pukë - Kukës


Nearby Qafë Thanë


Vlorë-Orikum

For the next time:

You should be every year in Albania if you want to talk thinks like "the worst road in Europe". Have you ever been on the Beograd-Nis Motorway?? That's a funny adventure for your car!

[ChrisZwolle]

Nice.

How do you speak out the ë letter in Albanian?

In Dutch ë are usually used in words with ie and ië becomes ie-ee. (like the word official - officieël - offi-cie-eel)

Let me teach you something: "let me learn you", you can't say that.


Albanian Motorways are very nice.

Well, I keep that Albanian network as a whole is probably one of the worst in Europe... and the photo's you posted didn't make me think otherwise.
Anyway, I don't mean this as an attack on Albania or anything, so no need get angry at me.

[Nephasto]

But thats probably improving alot, which is great!!

[radi6404]

the raods don´t look so bad, the roads shown on the pics have very good pavment and some of them are shiny. Is it like that in General in albania or not?

[7t]

In general road infrastructure has drastically improved. Some photos of different segments throughout the country:

The letter ë is probably the most commonly used vowel in today's standard albanian.
I say this because since tosk is the official dialect, in many cases nouns end up in that vowel. That's not the case with gheg where letter ë is only placed between other letters, rarely in the end.
It's pronounced like the "a" in "a book"
