Hello, since the Lebanese people like to drive fancy car, you can see that some families of 4 people can own about 5 or 6 cars, and since the only main highway in Lebanon that connects Tripoli to beirut is only 3 Lanes in most cities and the highway is located inside the city not like Europe, and you have these shops that are built not more than 3 meters far from it, so the highway looks like a small neighborhood road that needs to be expanded since 20 years, the traffic is always (except sunday noon) but the peak time is 7-8 in the morning and 5-7 at afternoon that's when you need about an hour to reach just 20km, in Lebanon the only transportation is by wheels car, bike, or bus. We don't have local flights it's a small country but neither we have train or ferry.
As for parking it depends on the location but private ones are the most expensive, can reach up to 10$ per day, but usually the local ones starting cost is 2$, the parking meters that were deployed recenty are the least expensive.
