Köşklüçiftlik Inner Streets – Evening Hours (18:00–20:00)

Evening hours in Köşklüçiftlik inner streets represent one of the most concentrated risk periods of the day.
Between 18:00 and 20:00, traffic is not defined by speed, but by space pressure.

After-work returns, short visits, deliveries, and residential parking all overlap in the same narrow streets. Vehicles rarely park properly. Most stops are brief, improvised, and justified with the same assumption: “I will only stop for a minute.”

During these hours, double parking becomes normalised.
One vehicle stops. Another attempts to pass. A third approaches from the opposite direction. Everyone slows down, but no one fully stops. The street geometry does not change, yet the margin for error disappears.

Most evening damages occur in this compressed environment. Side mirrors draw closer. Doors open quickly. Manoeuvring space collapses into centimetres. Even minor misjudgements result in contact.

At this point, a familiar statement often appears:
“I was stationary.”

However, in narrow residential streets, being stationary does not eliminate responsibility. Short, unplanned stops create unpredictable obstacles for other drivers, especially during peak return hours when decision-making time is limited.

Evening damages are typically low-speed but high-frequency incidents.
They rarely involve major collisions. Instead, they consist of mirror scratches, door dents, and bumper contact. Often, these incidents are not immediately escalated. But physical evidence remains.

In Köşklüçiftlik inner streets, evening damages share a common trait:
they are not caused by a single mistake, but by multiple small decisions made at the same time.

One vehicle stops.
Another tries to squeeze through.
A third driver rushes.

Evening hours are not calm.
They are simply quieter than daytime.

And this quiet congestion makes 18:00–20:00 one of the most repetitive damage windows in narrow residential streets.

Damage does not end when you stop.

This is only one example of damage patterns that repeatedly occur on the same street at different times of the day.
