Tomorrow (Saturday) the "Fun Run Tirana" running race will take place in Tirana with 9-year-old and high school students, while on Sunday the biggest international sports and promotional activity of the year will take place, which is "Tirana Marathon".
For this reason, the Municipal Police in cooperation with the State Police has drawn up a plan of measures for traffic management throughout the city of Tirana. Thus, in the entire perimeter of the race, as a function of safety, temporary road signs, parking ban and rest for vehicles have been installed.
The Municipal Police has called on citizens to use private vehicles as little as possible on October 22 and 23 to avoid traffic in the city. Also, citizens are asked not to attempt to enter the perimeter of the race by vehicle, during the race, as this is strictly prohibited, and they will have to immediately obey the police services in eventual traffic diversions.
During these two days, the Municipal Police calls on citizens not to park their private vehicles within the perimeter of the race, contrary to the established road signs. Those vehicles that will be found parked on the streets where the race will take place, will be removed with a lifting device by the police services.
In order to facilitate the progress of these two important sports events, the Municipal Police asks the citizens who want to move with their vehicles, which are parked inside the neighborhoods and within the perimeter of the competition, to take them out of the perimeter , before 08:00 on October 23, as the roads will be blocked until 16:00 and they will not be able to enter and exit the perimeter area of ??the race by vehicle.
An appeal by the Municipal Police also goes to users of bicycles, skateboards, or electric motors, who are asked not to move on the roads where the runners will be during the race.
To facilitate the movement of citizens, the volunteers of the Municipality of Tirana and the police services will help all those who need to cross the road, in the designated places, without becoming an obstacle for the runners.
