No you may not present us the Turkish speed limits. Why? Because they look like a mess.
EU admission requirement #2190929408435: simplify speed limit structure to comply with EU standards
You win.
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???
Is this real? I need an explanation.
Ok, you win.
What does 51/2a and 51/2b even mean?
What is 51/2A and 51/2B?
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)
So a tow truck will be going 53 while a car will be going 157, legally, on the exact same road. Nice.
Imagine driving 157 kmh and someone else on the green motorway drives 40 kmh…
Mashallah!
~~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.
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.
51/2-a, speeding from 10% to 30% (including thirty) over the speed limit. 51/2-b, speed exceeding the speed limit from 30% to 50% (including fifty).
In other words, this table is 200 percent more complicated than it should be.
In other words, A and B are 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.
Take the crown, we just can’t compete with that.
Do the speed limits have an eigenvalue?
How to stop and fine anyone for any reason.
Damn, wtf is that
What in the actual F***
Wow that’s a lot of speed limits for them to have to ignore
Guys, this is click bait. These arent exclusively speed limits, and they arent even up to date. These are the penalty brackets for speeding and atleast 3 years old.
You may. You may also pay for various therapists we’ll have to contact after seeing this.
I know someone had to escalate this…interesting 😁
The fact that Automobil is ottomobil for you is very funny to me

Why?
I… This hurts to look at
Motorcycle speed limits being lower than car speed limits is plain stupid.
I will die on that hill.
Why “panelvan” is in 3d and other graphics in 2d?
Ok Turkiye, you win!
Ok note to myself: when in Turkey drive as fast as you want.
Thats just Bingo !!
My experience in Turkey was that everyone just drives as fast as they can.
Partially outdated. 130 on most motorways and 140 on some parts.
These numbers seem so random. Like…157 or 133km/h exactly.
