Parking too close blocks pedestrians and driver visibility. The 5-meter rule ensures safe crossing space. Markings often reinforce this.

Double parking is illegal as it disrupts traffic and endangers cyclists or motorcyclists. It also affects emergency access.

Stopping in tunnels is highly dangerous due to low visibility and confined space. Hazard lights must be used if required. Always move out quickly.

Drivers can’t see ahead clearly and may collide with your vehicle. Parking here is strictly prohibited. Sloped roads need special caution.

Stopping or parking on a motorway shoulder is illegal unless it’s an emergency. You must use warning triangles.

This disrupts cyclists’ safety and violates lane rights. It can result in fines and towing. Always respect marked lanes.

Hazard lights should not be used just to justify illegal parking. They signal temporary vehicle hazard only. Misuse can confuse others.

Blocking emergency access is a serious violation in Turkey. Authorities may remove your car without notice. Heavy fines follow.

Yellow zigzag markings mean no stopping at any time. These are placed for safety and emergency zones. Ignoring them is a traffic offense.

Disabled spots are reserved by law. Misuse shows lack of respect and incurs serious penalties. Signs clearly indicate these zones.

Opening doors into traffic causes accidents. Always check mirrors, especially for cyclists or scooters. This is called the “Dutch Reach.”

Parking without setting the handbrake or turning wheels properly on slopes causes rollaway hazards. Use chocks if needed.

This ensures the car rolls into the curb, not into traffic. On uphill, turn away from the curb. Always apply the handbrake.

Leaving the car even for a moment counts as parking. Signs often prohibit both stopping and parking. Check markings carefully.

Sidewalk parking is generally illegal and endangers pedestrians. Exceptions are signed and marked clearly.

In unclear situations, it’s best to avoid the risk and park legally elsewhere. “I didn’t see a sign” is not a valid excuse.

Pay attention to posted time limits or paid zones. Some areas restrict parking during business hours.

Blocking private access is not tolerated. Even partial obstruction can be penalized. Property owners can report you directly.

You may pause but cannot obstruct traffic or leave the car unattended. Keep doors quickly shut to avoid hazard.

You’ll need to locate the vehicle through municipal offices or police. Fines increase the longer the car remains unclaimed.

This gives passengers space to cross and prevents sudden rear-end collisions. Don’t overtake buses discharging passengers.

Children crossing and increased congestion make it dangerous. Special signs will indicate these restricted times.

Cars can slide or get buried in snowfall. Choose flat, cleared spots with visibility to avoid accidents.

Move as far right as possible, switch on hazard lights, and place a warning triangle 30m behind. Don’t remain inside the lane.

This helps others see your vehicle in poor visibility. Failure to do so may lead to accidents or fines.

Parking against traffic flow is illegal and confusing. Always park in the direction of traffic flow unless marked otherwise.

Leave zebra crossings clear for pedestrians. Stopping over lines can cause tickets and endanger walkers.

Faulty meters do not exempt payment obligations. Fines still apply if parked without a valid payment method.

Bridges are critical traffic points. Stopping here causes major risks and delays unless due to breakdown.
