Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

Measures to improve road safety
Local and central authorities should develop
policies to improve the information, protection
and bordering infrastructure along the
axis of the movement, giving priority to the
main axes, to create mobility standards
and mobility efficiency, and to minimize the
potential for accidents in hotspot areas,
pursuant to the map of road accidents.
TP5- Freight mobility
The metropolitan region as the entry gate to
Corridor VIII, the cross-cutting point of the
‘North-South’ axis and the entry gate to the
Arbri road, should manage the national and
international freight flows based on the flows
of land, sea and air traffic. Strengthening
interactive hubs and national axes is a priority
for the interconnection and processing of
goods.
Prioritization of freight mobility policies in the
region should be based on:
• developing the transport strategy for
regional freight mobility (MTI);
Combining the latter with the strategy of
developing the logistics cluster, with the
primary focus on the development of the
economic pole Durres - Shkozet - Spitalle -
Porto Romano;
• new storage and processing poles, hubs
should be above all at the attention of Local
Government Units, due to the impact they
have on the mobility;
• logistics hubs should have direct links to
the multimodal, physical and electronic hubs,
the region’s primary strategic axes, economic
poles, networks of telecommunications
and energy, as well as of the underground
infrastructure system;
• improving the fleet of freight transport and
logistic infrastructure, to reduce the level of
air and noise pollution in the region, creating
favorable lending conditions.
Priority regional logistics poles:
The freight transport system should be
interconnected with the regional traffic
management office. Monitoring of movement
fluxes and safety of movement should pay
particular attention to the efficiency of the
movement of goods.

TP6- Bicycle mobility regional
itineraries
In order to minimize urban traffic problems,
it is necessary for cities to support alternative
modes of transport such as cycling.
Bicycle mobility itineraries outside urban
areas should be adapted with specialized
lanes, away from vehicle mobility, in order
to make bicycle mobility safer and more
pleasant.
It is suggested to create ring itineraries of
bicycle mobility along waterways, rivers,
lakes, the coast and protected areas
interconnecting important natural, urban and
cultural elements as well as enabling their
interconnection with the natural regional
parks.
