context_page_description: The Otoyol is the national network of controlled-access highways in Turkey. The network spans 2,542 kilometres 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 is still in development as the entire network is not connected to each other. There are three separate networks of motorways that are currently being linked through the construction of new motorways. The network is expected to expand to 4,773 kilometres by 2023 and to 9,312 kilometres by 2035. The minimum speed limit on the Turkish otoyols is 40 km/h while the maximum speed is 120 km/h.
