A number of highways have been blocked by long traffic jams around Turkey, as the official Eid al-Adha holiday begins today and people hit the roads.
Tailbacks about 10-kilometers long occurred around the toll booths on the TEM highway in the Black Sea province of Bolu, after the road was reduced to a single lane despite free passes being approved during the holiday.
However, vehicle density is low in Istanbul and traffic is flowing freely on the roads leading to Istanbul.
