İSTANBUL 4K - Driving Downtown

Istanbul traffic is among the busiest in the world. In this big city, millions of vehicles use thousands of kilometers of roads every day to go from one place to another. However, Istanbul traffic faces not only density but also various difficulties. Here's a more detailed overview of Istanbul traffic:

Density

Istanbul traffic is used by approximately 3.5 million vehicles every day. This causes serious congestion in the city's roads and intersections. Rush hours and weekends are among the times when traffic gets worse. In addition to vehicle traffic in Istanbul, pedestrian traffic is also quite dense. Therefore, traffic congestion increases even more, especially at pedestrian crossings and sidewalks.

Intersections

Intersections in Istanbul are the busiest places for traffic. Some smart traffic light systems are used to facilitate traffic flow in some intersections, while traffic congestion is experienced due to inadequate regulation in some. Therefore, traffic problems occur at the intersections of some main roads.

Public Transportation

Public transportation options in Istanbul are quite extensive. However, during rush hours with heavy traffic, there are also crowds in the metro, tram, and buses. Also, some lines are insufficient during late hours, especially at night.

Alternative Routes

To avoid the congestion in Istanbul traffic, it is possible to use alternative routes. Some of them are:

Coastal road: The coastal road located in the city's coastal region is one of the least congested roads. Especially in the morning hours, it offers a comfortable driving experience with a sea view.
Bosphorus bridges: The two Bosphorus bridges in Istanbul can be congested due to traffic at certain times, but they are also among the roads where traffic flows smoothly at some hours.
