Traffic fines have reached levels that burn pockets. Every day, thousands of drivers are forced to pay fines, especially due to radar. Inspections have intensified ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Minister of Interior Ali Yerlikaya has particularly focused on the issue in recent days. The announcement that there will be a radar every 30 kilometers has brought about discussions in some circles regarding whether 'a trap is being set.'

While the aforementioned debate continues on social media and in mainstream media, a new move has come from the General Directorate of Security.
All fixed radar locations in Turkey have been published. Radars are most concentrated around Istanbul. It was emphasized that in addition to obeying the rules, drivers who do not want to be fined should also know the radar locations.

DEBATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The new practice has also become a subject of debate among drivers. The high cost of fines is another issue that drivers are complaining about. On the other hand, it was announced that a total of 526 thousand 645 liras in fines were issued in just 4 days with the artificial intelligence-supported radar device "Trafidar," which was put on the roads in Düzce at the beginning of June. Official figures for other provinces and the whole of Turkey are not yet known.
