Yol Kullanıcılarının Çevresindeki Davranışlar
- 1/30If a pedestrian steps onto a marked crossing
Pedestrians on zebra crossings always have right of way. You must stop completely to let them cross. Failing to yield can lead to fines or accidents.
When approaching a school zone
Children may cross unexpectedly. Drive slowly and watch for school signs or crossing guards. School zones often have reduced speed limits.
If a cyclist is riding near the curb
Always leave at least 1.5 meters when passing a cyclist. Sudden movements or doors can endanger them. Slow down if needed to maintain space.
When an emergency vehicle is behind you with lights on
Emergency vehicles have priority in all situations. Move aside and let them pass quickly and safely. Blocking their path is illegal and dangerous.
If you see children near the road
Children can be unpredictable and may dart into traffic. Always slow down and stay extra cautious. Honking is not a substitute for caution.
When sharing the road with motorcycles
Motorcycles may appear suddenly while changing lanes. Always signal and check mirrors and blind spots. They are more vulnerable in traffic.
If an elderly pedestrian is crossing slowly
Give them all the time they need to cross. Never pressure or honk. Vulnerable road users deserve extra patience.
When a visually impaired person with a white cane is at a crossing
Blind pedestrians must be given full priority. Do not proceed until they are clear. It is illegal to ignore their crossing.
If someone exits a parked car suddenly
Always check for cyclists or scooters before passing parked vehicles. Unexpected door openings cause serious accidents.
When passing near a group of pedestrians on a shoulder
Pedestrians walking beside the road are at high risk. Give a wide berth and pass slowly. Avoid splashing or sudden acceleration.
If a person is using a wheelchair or mobility aid on the road
These users may move slowly or unpredictably. Always yield and avoid sudden maneuvers. Be extra cautious near crossings and ramps.
When you see a horse-drawn carriage
These vehicles are common in rural areas. Honking may spook the animals. Respect slow speeds and pass only when safe.
If a motorcyclist is weaving between cars in traffic
Avoid abrupt moves and signal clearly. Motorcyclists rely on your predictability. Stay calm and alert.
When near road construction workers
Workers are often close to moving traffic. Obey temporary signs and watch for equipment. Respect safety zones.
If someone is using a scooter or e-scooter on the street
They are harder to see and more affected by potholes. Give space and avoid close overtakes. They are legally classified like bicycles.
When a vehicle ahead signals to turn left
Overtaking on the left during a left turn is illegal and dangerous. Wait for them to turn fully. Patience prevents collisions.
If a pedestrian crosses during a green light for vehicles
Though they may be in the wrong, safety comes first. Don’t argue from the driver’s seat. Yield and proceed only when they’re clear.
When entering a residential area
People may use roads as play areas or walkways. Lower speeds and careful scanning are essential. Horn use should be avoided unless urgent.
If you are driving near a bicycle lane
Entering bicycle lanes is prohibited unless signage allows. Yield to cyclists first. Use your indicators early.
When a bus stops at a stop with passengers boarding
In cities, buses pulling out have priority. Don’t overtake while passengers are boarding. Slow approach avoids accidents.
If you splash pedestrians by driving through water
Drivers can be fined for splashing people. Reduce speed in wet conditions. Courtesy and awareness are expected.
When a truck signals a right turn
Trucks have wide blind spots and can turn suddenly. Avoid trying to pass on the right. Many fatal crashes happen this way.
If an animal suddenly enters the road
Swerving can cause loss of control or hit others. Brake straight and slow as much as possible. Always scan roadsides in rural areas.
When driving near a funeral procession
Turkey respects funerals as processions of honor. Avoid overtaking or honking. Let the convoy pass in full.
If a car is parked dangerously close to the road
Expect doors to open or pedestrians nearby. Check mirrors before going around. Signal early.
When sharing roads with trams
Trams often have priority. Keep off tram tracks unless permitted. Look both ways when crossing their lanes.
If a cyclist gestures to turn left
Hand signals must be respected like indicators. Don’t overtake while they’re turning. Give room to maneuver.
When you’re unsure of someone’s road intentions
Never assume someone will yield or act predictably. Slow down and let them act first. It’s safer to pause than to guess.
If someone waves to thank you for yielding
Small gestures are courteous but don’t require a reaction. Keep hands on the wheel. Don’t get distracted.
When reversing near pedestrians or tight spaces
Blind spots are deadly. Use mirrors, sensors, and reverse slowly. Ask for help if unsure.
