Roads in Turkey

The three types of intercity roads in Turkey

• Motorways are controlled-access highways that are officially named ''Otoyol''. But it isn't uncommon that people in Turkey call them ''Otoban'' (referring to Autobahn) as this types of roads entered popular culture by the means of Turks in Germany. They also depend on the General Directorate of Highways except those that are financed with a BOT model.

• State roads ('' Devlet Yolları'') are historical and free road network called State roads that are completely under the responsibility of the General Directorate of Highways except for urban sections (like the sections falling within the inner part of ring roads of Ankara, Istanbul or Otoyol 30, İzmir). Even if they mostly possess dual carriageways and Interchange (road), interchanges, they also have some traffic lights and Intersection (road), intersections.

• Provincial roads (''Il Yolları)'' are highways of secondary importance
linking districts within a province to each other, the
provincial center, the districts in the neighboring provinces,
the state roads, railway stations, seaports, and airports.
