Istanbul traffic to come to deadlock soon, experts warn

Traffic congestion in Istanbul has started appearing throughout the day and is getting intense by the day, warns experts, saying that the city can soon experience a traffic deadlock in the absence of urgent measures.

The experts speaking to daily Milliyet have listed four immediate solutions to ease the traffic in Istanbul.

The foremost thing that should be done is to “open one lane just for public buses.”

The second solution is to realize a “smart junction system” as soon as possible in the metropolis.

The third suggestion to ease the traffic is to promote public transport and bicycles.

“If measures are not taken immediately, in a couple of years, traveling a 10-kilometer road would take around two hours,” experts warned.
