These bollards are a common sight throughout Turkey and resemble the Australian and Netherlands bollards however they have a slightly fatter rectangle in Turkey.

Bollards

Ankara is the only city in Turkey to have these unique-looking street signs that feature a curved top-middle section of the sign.

Street Name

Turkey uses either blue or green coloured directional signs.

Street Sign

Turkey uses a wide range of utility poles. Some of the more recognisable poles have large holes in them. These poles are different to the poles in Romania, Hungary and Poland as they are made out of metal and have larger holes.

Poles

Turkey typically has wide roads with undulating land throughout most of the country, including urban areas.

Other

Turkey has these fairly unique red and white road arrows indicating corners.

Chevrons

Turkish kilometre markers are pictured above. The number (sometimes a letter) in the top left corner indicates what road you are on. If you see the letter ‘o’ followed by a number you are on that road, e.g. the o-5 road in this example. If you see just a number in the top left corner, you are on a D road. For example, 360 indicates the road D360.
