Trafik Polis
It's hard to put into words unless you see it for yourself, but you can try to imagine what the traffic is like in a city of 15 million people. We drive here a good bit, and feel safe doing it, but you have to stay very alert and not be afraid to squeeze through a space half the size of your car! One thing that we always comment on is the Trafik Polis. We see them everywhere, and every once and a while they are actually directing traffic if a light is out or there is an accident. But, mostly they hang out near traffic lights and "direct" traffic as the light turns. The only thing we can figure is this is job creation at its best. If you look at the right of this picture, you will see a billboard that says "Turkish Power" - Jeff thought this was very ironic, we had to take a picture!
