The highway speed limit will be increased to 140 as of July 1!
According to KGM data, the total road network reached 68 thousand 526 kilometers as of 01.01.22 in Turkey. However, most of these roads are provincial roads and state roads. In fact, according to the shared data, we see that there are many different types of roads other than asphalt concrete, such as surface coating, parquet, stabilized, soil and other roads.
| Road network by surface type (km) | Asphalt Concrete | Surface coating | Parquet | stabilize | Soil | other ways | Total |
| Motorway | 3,532 | 3,532 | |||||
| state roads | 19 thousand 280 | 11 thousand 314 | 46 | 22 | 303 | 30 thousand 965 | |
| provincial roads | 5 thousand 494 | 25 thousand 573 | 241 | 303 | 339 | 2 thousand 079 | 34 thousand 029 |
| Total | 28 thousand 306 | 36 thousand 887 | 287 | 325 | 339 | 2 thousand 382 | 68 thousand 526 |
According to the statement made by Soylu, with the regulation to be made, the current highway speed limit in our country will be 140 km/h instead of 120 km/h. It should be noted that this regulation will only be valid on highways, not on state roads and provincial roads.
In addition, a 10 percent share is left to the person when the penalty is imposed for exceeding the speed limit. In other words, a certain penalty is applied when the speed of 132 km/h is exceeded, not 120, and the size of this penalty is increased at the same rate if higher speeds are exceeded. For this reason, as of July 1, after the new regulation is approved, this penalty limit will no longer be applied to vehicles traveling over 154 km/h, not 132 km/h.
