Cap in the app: 80 km/h.
Speed
80 km/h on a two-lane rural road outside built-up areas, 100 on a divided road (bölünmüş yol), 110 on the motorway, 40 within built-up areas. The figures appear nowhere in plain text: the table in madde 100 expressly applies to römorksuz — without a trailer — and gives a car (M1) 50 / 90 / 110 / 120. The fifth paragraph then deducts ten: "Römorklu veya yarı römorklu araçlarda … en çok hız sınırı aynı cins römorksuz araçlara ait en çok hız sınırından saatte 10 km daha düşüktür". The deduction applies to every column, so to the built-up-area figure too. The exceptions in the parenthesis are tractors with trailers, dangerous goods and special transport — not cars.

Dimensions — the table that expressly does not apply to the outfit, and the ten that are deducted
Türkiye is the country where none of the speed figures for a car-and-caravan outfit is written down anywhere. They have to be calculated, and the statute itself says they must be.
The table in madde 100 opens with the reservation "yol durumlarına göre römorksuz araç cinsleri için saatteki asgari ve azami hız sınırları aşağıda gösterilmiştir" — the speeds below apply to vehicle types without a trailer. A car (M1) gets 50 within built-up areas there, 90 on a two-lane rural road between towns, 110 on a divided road and 120 on the motorway. The fifth paragraph, in the version given by RG 2014-02-19 no. 28918, does the rest:
Römorklu veya yarı römorklu araçlarda (Römork takmış LTT ile tehlikeli madde taşıyan araçlar ve özel yük taşıma izin belgesi veya özel izin belgesi ile karayoluna çıkan araçlar hariç) en çok hız sınırı aynı cins römorksuz araçlara ait en çok hız sınırından saatte 10 km daha düşüktür.
Ten kilometres an hour lower than the same vehicle type without a trailer. The paragraph does not limit the deduction to any column, so it runs through the whole row: 40 / 80 / 100 / 110. The exceptions in the parenthesis are a rubber-tyred tractor with a trailer, dangerous goods and vehicles running on a special transport permit — a car with a caravan is not among them.
That the caravan is a römork stands in the definition list and is unusually clear: "Römork: Motorlu araçla çekilen insan veya yük taşımak için imal edilmiş motorsuz araçtır" — a motorless vehicle built to transport people or goods. Most countries write only goods and force an interpretation. Türkiye writes people out. The regulation on the other hand defines only motorlu karavan (a motorhome, class SA); there is no definition of a towed caravan, and none is needed.
The dimensions: madde 128, in the version given by RG 2015-04-17 no. 29329.
| Dimension | Türkiye | Article |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 2.55 m (2.60 m refrigerated body, 2.65 m municipal trolleybus) | KTY madde 128 a) |
| Height | 4.00 m | KTY madde 128 b) |
| Length, vehicle | 12.00 m motor vehicle except a bus; 12.00 m trailer | KTY madde 128 c) |
| Length, outfit | none | see below |
The length list has eleven rows and none of them catches a car with a caravan. The three 18.75 rows are called Mafsallı (Körüklü) otobüslerde (articulated bus), Römorklu otobüslerde (bus with trailer) and Römorklu kamyonlarda — lorry with trailer. 22.00 applies to İki römorklu katarlarda, combinations with two trailers, and a Taşıt Katarı is in turn defined as a unit of at most two trailers. A car with one caravan is neither a bus, a lorry nor a two-trailer combination. The same gap as in Germany, the Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium — but here it has been checked against the original: a search for the word Römorklu in the regulation's own Word file gives exactly three hits, the speed rule and the two 18.75 rows. There is no row for a römorklu otomobil.
Türkiye differs from Moldova and Belarus on one point worth noting: exceeding the dimensions is not merely subject to a permit, it is an obstacle to registration. Madde 128 says that vehicles with capacity above the limits "karayolu uygunluk belgesi verilemez ve bu gibi araçlar tescil edilemez" — they get no roadworthiness certificate and cannot be registered. The permit route (Özel İzin Belgesi and Özel Yük Taşıma İzin Belgesi from the Karayolları Genel Müdürlüğü) is reserved for indivisible vehicles and loads in compelling and exceptional cases. A caravan that is too wide therefore does not fall into the permit track — it is not registered.
