Istanbul is a very old city--many streets were just fine for pre-auto transportation...but those same streets are now filled with cars. Istanbulites have developed their own special ways of dealing with the problem. In this series of videos, you will see what happens when two cars that cannot pass one another meet. Spoiler alert--it involves several people backing up, driving over stairs, backing into side streets, performing Y-turns, and somehow working it all out.
About 5 cars were involved in this action. Three had to back most of the way up a steep hill. In the second video, one of them backed into into a side street and waited until there was room for him to continue down the hill. But (3d video) he didn't have enough room and ended up with his wheels over the pedestrian walkway--in this instance, stairs. As you will see, through this complicated maneuver, no one seems to get their knickers in a knot.
