No you may not present us the Turkish speed limits. Why? Because they look like a mess.

My guess is this isn’t properly enforced? No offence, I wouldn’t either.

Why all the non-rounded speed limits? Is there some kind of formula involved?

157km/h in highways???

Okay, this one is cursed.

Is this real? I need an explanation.

Doesn’t matter that they are complicated, because no one knows and no one cares. While the roads generally are quite decent half of the country drives like they never had a single driving lesson (which is probably the case).

Ok, you win.

What does 51/2a and 51/2b even mean?

What is 51/2A and 51/2B?

Turkey – Where speed limits are more of an aspiration than regulation.

Allah … what is this

It isn’t as complicated as it is made to look like, the basic speed limits are fairly straight forward, the additional two columns in each category seem to be about the penalty brackets, furthermore, the motorway speed limits were updated and the base isn’t 120 km/h anymore.
So for a passenger car, the basic speed limits are Populated area: 50, Country road: 90, Dual carriageway: 110, Motorway 130 and 140. (On state motorways it is 130 and on private motorways with better asphalt quality it is 140)

You can be in your car at 144km/h and have a big truck (last one) going at 27km/h?! That is the same as finding a car completely immobile when going at 117km/h, you are done
kielu on
So a tow truck will be going 53 while a car will be going 157, legally, on the exact same road. Nice.

So… how fast can I drive with a normal car towing a trailer?

Imagine driving 157 kmh and someone else on the green motorway drives 40 kmh…

~~Not sure I think mixing vechicles with a speed limit of 144km/h with vechicles with a speed limit of 27km/h on the same road is a good idea. Or 157km/h with 53km/h.~~
From googling it seems that 51/2a and 51/2b are levels for fines. The speed limit is the first one.
arinc9 on
It’s not as confusing as it looks. 51/2a and 51/2b are fine codes. Driving above 10% + 1 km/h of the speed limit lands you in 51/2a; 30% + 1 km/h lands you in 51/2b. So it’s just four categories for the types of vehicle.

How fast can I go in Turkey? – Yes sir.

This is not representative of the actual situation.

Is there a source for this? Is this satire maybe?
I know about 82, which is crazy enough on its own, but never saw the rest.

As a Turkish politician i would say I’ll simplify this. A lot.
Guaranteed victory.

I am not saying that this is why you guys lost the Ottoman Empire, but this is why you guys lost the Ottoman Empire.

I’ll take a taxi or uber then i guess..

I see they’re better than EU in making regulations.
“Officer, I was only driving 79” – “You’re only allowed 78 here”

Maybe Turkey is european after all

This is actually not exactly as the title suggests. 51/2a and 51/2b are the categorisations for traffic tickets, they are not limits. In other words, this table is 200 percent more complicated than it should be. A and B are not speed limits, but red zones for tickets. This table is only useful for a traffic police officer or someone who has received a ticket. The table is basically just the first columns and the road types. Parts a and b are purely technical details.
