Accidents in Albania: Saturday, the most dangerous day, Tuesday the safest.

Albania's roads continue to remain a challenge for the safety of citizens, despite a slight improvement in long-term figures. According to the latest report published by the Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) for February 2026, 97 road accidents were recorded in the country, of which 125 people were injured (killed and injured).

Although the February figure shows an increase compared to February 2025 (when 88 accidents and 122 injuries were recorded), the overall balance of the first two months of the year (January-February 2026) is positive. During this period, the total number of road accidents has decreased by 9.4% compared to the same period a year ago.

The fault lies with the drivers.

One of the most disturbing data in the report is the cause of these events. In a full 86.6% of cases during February, accidents occurred as a direct result of the behavior of drivers. This includes failure to comply with traffic rules such as speed limits, disobeying traffic signals or wrong overtaking. The remainder is attributed to the careless behavior of pedestrians.

Risk profile

The INSTAT report also sheds light on the demographics and geography of accidents, creating a clear profile of road risk.

The most at-risk age group

Young people remain the most problematic category. Drivers or persons involved in vehicles aged 25–34 account for 27.8% of the total number of accidents.

Critical days and times

Saturday has the highest number of accidents, accounting for 21.6% of the total, while the “safest” day is Tuesday (10.3%). In terms of schedules, the morning time slot 08:00–12:00 is the most dangerous, with 22.7% of recorded events.

Accident map, Tirana at the top of the list

The division by districts shows a large disparity in the number of accidents, naturally influenced by population size and vehicle flow.

Tirana breaks every negative record. In February 2026 alone, 42 accidents were recorded in the capital (double compared to 21 accidents in February 2025), leaving 51 people injured/killed.

Counties like Vlora and Lezha also recorded high figures with 10 and 9 accidents respectively.

On the other hand, good news comes from the districts of Berat and Dibra, which have not recorded any accidents with consequences for the month of February 2026. Meanwhile, the districts of Elbasan, Fier and Shkodra have recorded a significant decrease in incidents compared to last year.

These preliminary data, which are expected to be reviewed by INSTAT in annual reports, highlight the urgent need for more aggressive awareness campaigns for young people and increased police checks during weekends and morning hours, especially in the Tirana Region.
