Traffic on the streets of Tirana is getting heavier by the day, while finding a parking space has become more difficult and undoubtedly more expensive than ever.

The number of people who own a car in the capital has increased significantly.

According to data from the General Directorate of Road Transport Services (DPSHTRR), at the end of 2024, there were 340 thousand vehicles registered in Tirana, or one third of all vehicles registered in the country.

In relation to the population of the municipality of Tirana, which according to the new INSTAT census was around 750 thousand inhabitants as a prefecture and 600 thousand as a municipality, it results that now every two inhabitants has a vehicle in Tirana, with around 500-550 vehicles per 1 thousand inhabitants.

This figure is much higher than the country's average of around 300 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants (among the lowest in Europe after Turkey and North Macedonia) and in line with the European Union average, which according to Eurostat is 550 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants.

In 2024 alone, according to the DPSHTRR, 41.1 thousand vehicles were registered for the first time in Tirana, or 41% of all vehicles registered in the country (99.4 thousand in total). In addition to vehicles registered in Tirana, cars from other districts also enter the capital, adding to traffic congestion every day.

By June 2024, 914 thousand vehicles were registered in the country (of which 738 thousand were cars). In the last two years, the number of vehicles registered in the country has increased significantly due to massive imports from South Korea, which sells vehicles at economical prices. According to the DPSHTRR, in 2024, 18.8 thousand vehicles originating from South Korea were registered for the first time, becoming the largest importing country, with 19% of the total. / Taken with abbreviations from Monitor
