The network spans 3,523 kilometres (2,189 mi) as of 2020-end and was first opened in 1973. Another term for the system is Otoban, which is a popular but unofficial term transcribed from the German word autobahn. The term Otoyol translates to motorway while the literal meaning is auto-route. The Otoyol system previously consisted of three separate networks; the Edirne-Istanbul-Ankara corridor, the Aegean network centered around İzmir, and the Southeastern network centered around Adana. With the completion of the O-5 in 2019 and the extension of the O-21 in 2020, these three networks have since been connected. The network is expected to expand to 4,773 kilometres (2,966 mi) by 2023 and to 9,312 kilometres (5,786 mi) by 2035. The minimum speed limit on the Turkish otoyols is 40 km/h (25 mph) while the maximum speed is 120 km/h (75 mph).35350center19681115614586Otoyol XX7032967Otoyol80Route markers for three Turkish MotorwaysOtoyol network in Turkey.
