Like in most European countries, Albanians drive on the right side of the road, which is the same as the United States.

The use of mobile phones while driving is strictly forbidden, and as always, make sure you have all your documents before you set out on the road.

Speed limits vary according to the type of road, from 110 km/h (68 mph) on freeways and 90 km/h (56 mph) on expressways to between 40 and 80 km/h (25-50 mph) within various city limits. There are usually signs posted regarding speed limits, and these should be observed. Mopeds, caravans and other vehicles may have different regulations or standards, so it’s a good idea to check with your rental agency about vehicle-specific laws.
