'''There are three types of intercity roads in Turkey:'''

– The first is the historical and free road network called State roads (''[[Turkish State Highway System|Devlet Yolları]]'') that are completely under the responsibility of the [[General Directorate of Highways (Turkey)|General Directorate of Highways]] except for urban sections (like the sections falling within the inner part of [[ring road]]s of [[Otoyol 20|Ankara]], [[Otoyol 1|Istanbul]] or [[Otoyol 30|İzmir]]. Even if they mostly possess [[dual carriageway]]s and [[Interchange (road)|interchanges]], they also have some [[traffic light]]s and [[Intersection (road)|intersections]].

– The second type of roads are [[controlled-access highway]]s that are officially named ''[[Otoyol]]''. But it isn't uncommon that people in Turkey call them ''Otoban'' (referring to [[Autobahn]]) as this types of roads entered popular culture by the means of [[Turks in Germany]]. They also depend on the [[General Directorate of Highways (Turkey)|General Directorate of Highways]] except those that are financed with a [[Build–operate–transfer|BOT]] model.{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}

– The third type of roads are provincial roads (''Il Yolları)'' are highways of secondary importance linking districts within a province to each other , the provincial center, the districts in the neighboring provinces, the state roads, railway stations, seaports, and airports
