Otoyol
The Otoyol (Plural: ''Otoyollar'') is the national network of controlled-access highways in Turkey. The network spans as of 2020-end and was first opened in 1973. Another term for the system is Otoban, which is a popular but unofficial term transcribed from the German word ''autobahn''.

The ''Otoyol'' system previously consisted of three separate networks; the Edirne-Istanbul-Ankara corridor, the Aegean network centered around İzmir, and the Southeastern network centered around Adana. With the completion of the O-5 in 2019 and the extension of the O-21 in 2020, these three networks have since been connected. The network is expected to expand to by 2023 and to by 2035. The minimum speed limit on the Turkish otoyols is while the maximum speed is . History The construction of a national road system was prioritized in 1948, where the construction of new roads were greatly accelerated. Th ...

Motorway Map Of Turkey (revised)
A controlled-access highway is a type of highway that has been designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow—ingress and egress—regulated. Common English terms are freeway, motorway and expressway. Other similar terms include ''throughway'' and ''parkway''. Some of these may be limited-access highways, although this term can also refer to a class of highways with somewhat less isolation from other traffic. In countries following the Vienna convention, the motorway qualification implies that walking and parking are forbidden. A fully controlled-access highway provides an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals, intersections or property access. They are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways, or pedestrian paths, which are instead carried by overpasses and underpasses. Entrances and exits to the highway are provided at interchanges by slip roads (ramps), which allow for speed changes between the highway and arterials a ...
