Free pass from Mahmutbey
Minister of Transport Arslan stated that after the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge was put into service, the intensity experienced in Mahmutbey toll booths would be eliminated and said, “Mahmutbey has become a crossroads while eating outside of Istanbul. In terms of highway, there is a bottle head position. Traffic is coming and collected. We have established a system in Izmir-Seferihisar, which we call free passage, where the vehicles are directly followed and the vehicles do not stop. We started the process for Mahmutbey toll booths. "We will make Mahmutbey toll booths free pass within 2 months." Arslan said, “We have a full 2-month period. We expect the traffic to relax by 30 percent when it becomes free pass. Since there is no OGS-HGS distinction, the drivers will not zigzag. This will provide 30 percent relief, ”he said.
