Traffic density in Istanbul reaches 80 percent in the evening hours

Traffic congestion occurred in many areas throughout the city due to rush hour.

On the European side, vehicles have difficulty moving on the D-100 highway in the direction of Ankara, between the Beylikdüzü region and Okmeydanı and Zincirlikuyu.

On the D-100 highway in the direction of Edirne, the traffic density starting from Zincirlikuyu is effective all the way to Avcılar.

While vehicles are densely congested from Esenyurt to Mahmutbey Junction on the TEM Highway in the direction of Ankara, traffic is slow in Seyrantepe, Hasdal and Kağıthane.

While there is congestion at the entrance and connection roads in both directions of the 15 July Martyrs Bridge and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, traffic is flowing smoothly at the entrances of the Eurasia Tunnel.

On the Anatolian side, vehicles are moving very slowly in Bostancı, Uzunçayır, Ataşehir and Ümraniye on the D-100 highway in the direction of Edirne, and in the Göztepe, Bostancı and Maltepe regions in the direction of Ankara.

While there is congestion from the Acıbadem connection to the Çamlıca toll booths in the direction of Ankara on the TEM Highway, there is congestion in the opposite direction from Sultanbeyli to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge connection.

Again, congestion is observed on the TEM Highway in the direction of Edirne from the Tuzla region to the Sabiha Gökçen Airport junction.

On the other hand, due to rush hour, there is a passenger density in central stations such as Uzunçayır, Altunizade, Zincirlikuyu, Mecidiyeköy and Yenibosna, where many public transportation lines intersect.

According to IMM CepTrafik map data, traffic density reached 79 percent on the European Side, 81 percent on the Anatolian Side, and 80 percent across the city.
