Fixed Speed Cameras in Turkey: Driver Alert

With the upcoming Ramazan Bayram holiday, traffic on Turkish roads increases. Speed and road safety are actively monitored using fixed speed cameras, which continue to operate during the holidays. Locations of fixed cameras are now publicly known across the country.

📸 how fixed speed cameras work: Fixed cameras are installed on platforms above the road and measure vehicle speed. Monitoring is also done through TEDES poles (road shoulders/median). Exceeding limits triggers automatic fines to the license plate.

⚠️ Speed Limit Tolerances: 5 and 10 km/h

According to changes in the Traffic Law, the new rules limit speed tolerance:

Urban areas: up to 5 km/h over the limit
Intercity roads: up to 10 km/h over the limit

Exceeding these limits automatically results in a fine.

📏 examples in practice:
90 km/h limit → fine starts at 100 km/h
110 km/h limit → fine starts at 120 km/h
130 km/h limit → fine starts at 140 km/h
140 km/h limit → fine starts at 150 km/h

🏙️ Fines in Urban Areas

The general speed limit in cities is 50 km/h. Fines are applied starting at 56 km/h:
