The national road and motorway network in Albania is one of the youngest in Europe and is constantly being expanded.
Classification All roads in the country are property of Albanian Road Authority (, a directorate subordinated to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure based in Tirana. Currently, cars are free of payment while driving on both motorways and expressways except on A1 motorway which has become a toll highway since March 2018. A2 and A3 are planned to become toll highways shortly. A new road system has been introduced in the early 2000s and is classified as follows:
