Traffic rules and fines

In Turkey, driving is on the right-hand side. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 120 km/h on motorways, unless otherwise indicated. The alcohol limit for drivers is very strict, effectively zero (0.05% for private cars, 0.00% for commercial vehicles). Headlights are not mandatory during the day but should be used in tunnels or low visibility. Seatbelts are compulsory for all occupants, and child seats are required for children under 1.35 meters tall and under 36 kg.

Parking

In Beysehir, parking is generally straightforward. You'll find free street parking in many areas, especially outside the immediate town center. Paid parking zones or lots may exist near popular attractions or busy commercial streets, often managed by attendants or ticket machines. Always check local signs for parking regulations.

Fuel stations

Fuel stations are readily available in Beysehir and along main roads. Both gasoline (petrol) and diesel are common.

Which car to choose
