GAME ROADS
From now on, the places where traffic will be congested will be marked with “Traffic Congestion” sign especially in big cities. Signs will be placed in places where military vehicles can come out. Signs under the name of "Pedestrian priority roads" will be placed for the roads where special traffic rules will be applied. On such roads, pedestrians will have the right to use the whole road. A game can be played on the road. The speed limit on these roads is limited to 20 km. In the metropolitan areas, new signs will be used to direct drivers to public transportation areas with parking lots.

Here are the new traffic signs and their meanings that we can see on highways in the coming period;
