In Bursa, local authorities are addressing heavy vehicle management through both infrastructure planning and active enforcement. 

The Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Council has proposed expanding transportation infrastructure in the Nilüfer district. These plans include designating over 42,000 square meters for a dedicated truck park in the Minareliçavuş neighborhood and establishing a caravan storage park in the Ürünlü neighborhood.

Complementing these infrastructure efforts, the Bursa Provincial Police Department has initiated targeted traffic enforcement operations in Nilüfer. Officers have been inspecting trucks and semi-trailers to verify documentation and city entry permits. Unauthorized heavy vehicles are being fined and redirected to the Bursa Ring Road to reduce urban congestion and improve transit flow.

Recent developments indicate further expansion of regional transit capacity. The Bursa-Mudanya road is undergoing changes with the phased opening of the new Geçit-Bademli bridge project, which is designed to expand capacity to five lanes to improve traffic flow.
