List of highways in Turkey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Turkish motorway network

The Turkish motorway network ( Turkish Otoyol ) comprised a length of 2155 km including feeders at the end of 2016. The numbering is roughly based on their location, so the highways in the greater Istanbul area are single-digit, in the Adana area double-digit with a leading five. In Turkey there is a speed limit of 120 km / h on motorways, all motorways have at least six lanes and are partially illuminated.

history

Turkey's highways are relatively new. In 1980 there was only 27 km of motorway in Turkey , these were concentrated in Istanbul.

The expansion of the highways stalled after 2002 in favor of the two-lane expressways ("duble yol") of the Erdoğan government . Large investments since 2002 in the construction of the two-lane expressways resulted in a network length of 1499 km in urban areas and 19 790 km in extra urban areas.

Since 2009 great efforts have been made to expand the motorway network. In the first stage, around 4773 km of route will be built. Of these, the Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir motorway and the Nordmarmara motorway are currently under construction. Most of the remaining projects are still in the planning stage, with some waiting for the order placement process.

toll

Six Turkish motorways are toll roads. A distance-dependent toll must be paid on this. Tunnels and expensive structures except for the two Bosporus bridges in Istanbul are not subject to a toll. With the exception of a general motorway toll, there are no other charges on Turkish roads; Expressways are toll-free.

Toll revenue in 2001 was approximately $ 203 million and increased to approximately $ 542 million by 2012. The Bosporus bridges used 150 million vehicles in 2012 and the other toll roads over 210 million vehicles.

International roads

In Turkey, the network of European roads overlaps with that of the Asian trunk road project . For example, the O-2 is Asian Highway 1 , Europastraße 80 and Otoyol 2 on almost the entire route , but mostly only the O and E numbers are shown on the highways. In total, Turkey's e-road network covers over 8,800 km, the AH road network over 5200 km.

Furnishing

The motorways are illuminated at exits, rest stops, parking lots and more dangerous sections. Outside of cities, exits are almost always implemented by means of a feeder.

Signage

The signage has a green background. The Highway Gothic font , which is also used in the USA, is used.

When entering a motorway, the driver's attention is first drawn to the start of the motorway using the motorway sign that is typical for Europe. Usually there is another sign right next to it, which indicates with the appropriate signs that bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians and tractors are prohibited from using the motorway. Shortly after the end of the acceleration lane, there is usually a sign on the right-hand side of the lane, which indicates the minimum and maximum speed (40 or 120 km / h) and indicates that there is no stopping or turning. About 100 meters later there is a sign that uses a graphic to explain the intended use of the respective lanes for continuous driving or for overtaking and, in the broadest sense, reminds of the right-hand drive requirement.

  • Speeds, no turning back and no stopping

  • Sign showing important telephone numbers (emergency call, road office, gendarmerie and police)

  • Sign explaining the use of the tracks
