Traffic rules and fines

In Turkey, drivers must adhere to speed limits: generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 120 km/h on motorways. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05% for private vehicles; however, a zero-tolerance policy is strongly recommended. Headlights are not mandatory during the day but must be used in tunnels and poor visibility. Seatbelts are compulsory for all occupants. Children under 1.35 meters tall and under 36 kg must use an appropriate child restraint system.

Parking

In Korgan, street parking is often available, especially outside the very central areas. Some central streets may have paid parking zones where you pay attendants or use parking meters. Larger supermarkets and some hotels offer their own parking facilities. Finding free parking is generally easier in residential areas or a short walk from the town center.

Fuel stations

Fuel stations are readily available in Korgan and along major routes. You can find both gasoline (petrol) and diesel. Fuel prices are regulated and generally comparable across the country; as of 2026, expect prices for gasoline to be approximately 1.10-1.30 EUR per liter. Most stations accept cash and major credit cards.

Which car to choose

For driving around Korgan and nearby towns, an economy or compact car with a manual transmission is often sufficient and economical. If you plan to venture into the more mountainous or rural areas, especially towards the plateaus, an SUV or a car with higher ground clearance is highly recommended for comfort and navigating potentially unpaved or uneven roads. Automatic transmission cars are available but may be slightly more expensive.
