About Sukobin – Muriqan
Anyone driving to Albania along the Montenegrin coast, through Bar and Ulcinj, ends up at the Sukobin – Muriqan crossing. On the Montenegrin side it sits in the Ulcinj area, on the Albanian side Muriqan is close to Shkodër, from where the road continues inland. Cars are processed in both directions.
The 60-day measurements cover only entry into Albania; the data says nothing about returning to Montenegro. The typical wait is around an hour and a half and, unusually, it barely depends on the day of the week: the gap between the best days, Friday and Saturday, and the worst, Thursday, is just a few minutes. Time of day decides everything. At night the average is a little under an hour, in the morning close to two, in the afternoon about two, and in the evening back to around an hour and a half. Peaks were recorded around 3 pm on Wednesday, 1 pm on Thursday and 8 am on Monday.
When planning a crossing at Sukobin, don't bother juggling weekdays – pick the hour instead. It is quickest at night and late in the evening, slowest between 6 am and 6 pm. The faster alternative is Božaj – Hani i Hotit near Podgorica, where entering Albania averages about 45 minutes, but from the coast that means a detour via the capital's surroundings. If you are heading for Shkodër anyway and your crossing falls in the middle of the day, the detour may balance out.

A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.
Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
