Hız Sınırları ve Kontrolü
- 1/25When you’re driving in a built-up urban area, what’s the usual limit
Urban roads have a general speed limit of 50 km/h unless otherwise posted. This helps reduce risk in areas with pedestrians and intersections. Always look for signs indicating different limits.
If you’re driving on a two-lane rural road, what’s the default speed
The general limit on rural roads outside urban areas is 90 km/h. Conditions such as curves or poor visibility may demand lower speeds. Road signs can override this limit.
When you’re on a dual carriageway (divided highway), what speed is allowed
On divided highways, the maximum permitted speed is 110 km/h. These roads allow faster, more efficient travel. Still, adjust for weather and traffic.
If you’re driving on a motorway in Turkey, what is the maximum speed
The general motorway speed limit is 120 km/h unless signs specify otherwise. Modern motorways are built for this speed, but vigilance is still key. Some sections may have lower limits.
When you’re towing a trailer, what should you remember about speed
Towing vehicles must reduce their speed below standard limits. Lower speeds help maintain control and reduce risk. Check trailer laws and posted signs.
If weather conditions are poor, what should you do with your speed
In rain, fog, or snow, drive slower than the posted limit. The law requires adjusting speed to road conditions. Visibility and braking distance are reduced.
When you approach a school or hospital zone, what should you do
Special zones like schools or hospitals often have reduced limits (e.g., 30 km/h). Extra care is required due to vulnerable users. Always check for flashing lights or specific times.
If there’s no speed sign visible on a road, how do you know the limit
When signs are absent, Turkish traffic law sets default limits by road type. It’s essential to know these general limits. Speed cameras may still enforce them.
When passing roadworks, what’s your responsibility regarding speed
Roadworks often require slower speeds to protect workers and drivers. These are legally enforceable limits. Sudden changes may occur, so stay alert.
If your vehicle is a minibus or commercial van, what speed applies
Light commercial vehicles must obey specific speed limits depending on the road. Typically they are lower than passenger cars. Check the rear of signs for category-specific details.
When you drive a motorcycle on a motorway, what’s your maximum speed
Motorcycles are allowed up to 100 km/h on motorways in Turkey. Their lower stability requires stricter control. Motorcyclists must wear protective gear.
If you’re operating a truck on a rural road, what speed limit applies
Trucks have lower speed limits due to size and braking distances. On rural roads, 80 km/h is typically enforced. Heavier vehicles must reduce risk.
When driving in a residential zone, how should you adjust your speed
Residential areas demand slower driving for safety. Children and parked vehicles create unpredictability. Look out for specific local signage.
If there’s a sign showing "HIZ SINIRI 70", what must you do
“Hız Sınırı” means speed limit in Turkish. You must follow the number shown in kilometers per hour. Exceeding it may lead to penalties.
When approaching a curve or steep descent, how should you manage speed
Entering too fast increases crash risk. Downhill roads need earlier braking. Use engine braking on slopes.
If you are going downhill with a heavy load, what must you do about speed
Heavy loads reduce braking efficiency. Shift to a lower gear before descent. Braking only can overheat the system.
When visibility is reduced due to fog or rain, how should you adjust speed
The law requires adapting speed to weather. Reduced visibility increases reaction times. Use dipped headlights too.
If your vehicle’s tires or brakes are worn, how should you adjust speed
Mechanical faults affect safety, especially at higher speeds. Lowering speed helps retain control. Regular maintenance is critical.
When towing a caravan, what speed should you not exceed on highways
Towed vehicles limit maneuverability. The recommended cap is often lower than standard limits. Check your specific towing limit.
If you see flashing amber lights near a construction zone, how should you drive
Flashing amber means caution, especially near work crews. Sudden lane changes or stops may occur. Obey all temporary signs.
When road markings are unclear or missing
Unclear roads require more attention. Lower speed compensates for unpredictability. Keep a safe distance from others.
If your vehicle hydroplanes during rain, what was likely too high
Hydroplaning happens when speed exceeds tire grip. Always slow down in heavy rain. Maintain tire tread depth for safety.
When approaching a traffic camera zone
Speed cameras enforce compliance even in low-traffic areas. Warnings are often posted in advance. Fines are issued automatically.
If traffic is flowing slower than the limit
Safe flow matters more than maximum limits. Driving faster than others can cause danger. Be smooth and predictable.
When you pass a speed limit cancellation sign
Speed limit cancellation means previous limits no longer apply. Know the general limits for road type. Remain alert for the next speed sign.
