Coming down the road from Ovacik last night we saw a horrific car crash. One car really badly smashed up and one in the front of it was upside down on it's roof. This is the 3rd really bad crash that we have seen in just 6 months. One car was actually embedded in the rock wall. I dont know what they can be done about this stretch of road.

It's not the road, it's the nuts behind the steering wheels.
-
Not always the nuts, my daughter was in an accident on the Ovacik Fethiye Road, the driver was sober and thankfully, not speeding. The car was upside down and the roof was totally caved in, thankfully, they got out alive and after treatment, all are fine, however, in the same spot, over the next few months, there were countless accidents, most of them ending up with an upside down car.
-
Mind you, I am not saying it is never the nuts behind the steering wheels, but, that does seem to be an accident blackspot.
-
Three lanes + worn out/faded double white lines = a recipe for disaster.
Mind you, most drivers don't take any notice of white lines even when freshly painted.
I have many times driven up the hill and overtaken vehicles, (2 lanes for uphill direction) only to find that when I get round the corner they are flashing me to get out of the way whilst they are careering down the wrong side of the double white lines. [:(!] [:(!]

That road is like a skating rink at the first sign of rain. The surface is worn away and add to that the oil that leaks out of the poorly serviced cars and lorries. On top of all that you have the cars with bald tyres and it is a total recipe for accidents to happen.A few weeks ago, a Polis car crashed and a 30km limit was introduced and no one takes any notice of it.

The tar holds the diesel so when it rains it comes to the surface. Ice Rink made for Heaven
-
If it were feasible perhaps the Jandarma/Polis should consider moving the speedtrap to the other side of the road just before everyone goes skating down the slalom? So many fatalities there.
-
Its on the section which is smoothly tarred prior to a bend. There is a speed sign up before the start of the section advising 30 KPH,but having said that its all down to the blind Kamikaze drivers,bunch of nutters,as stated.

Totally agree that the road is like a skating rink in wet weather - absolutely lethal but do people adjust their speed and driving - I think not!! Signs are not going to make any difference at all!!

So KKOB and geordieboy everyone who has a accident here is a nutter, how about the people who are not driving like nutters and get hit by other vehicles, what about the very poor road surface here, the poor road marking/signage and natural hazards that occur like surface rain, rocks, animals that do not care if you are driving slow, fast or legally. Only nutters make statements without all facts!

I do'nt know about you KKOB but corbinallas's comment cut me to the quick,however I see you handled it in a mature fashion.
Unfortunately it'll soon be the silly season and us locals,apart from avoiding the usual pitfalls like skateing rinks,potholes,slow animals,mad drivers,will also have to avoid the nutters on scooters,quad bikes,and other assorted transport who should'nt be allowed on a tricycle. 8).
