After 23:30, Karaoglanoglu (Karaoğlanoğlu) coastal corridor shifts into a third night phase. Standard restaurant flow declines, but beach-side event venues activate concentrated departure waves.

The exposure forms not from steady traffic, but from synchronized release.

Certain seafront venues host weddings, private celebrations, or seasonal events. When these gatherings conclude, departure does not occur gradually. It occurs in clusters.

A recurring scenario develops on summer weekends.

An event concludes near the seafront. Within a 10–15 minute window, multiple vehicles attempt to exit a narrow beach-side access lane onto the main coastal corridor. The exit geometry is typically limited to one vehicle width, requiring drivers to pause and assess eastbound and westbound gaps.

At the same time, through traffic toward Alsancak and Kyrenia continues at moderate but steady rhythm.

The first exiting vehicle enters successfully. The second hesitates. The third positions itself too closely behind. Meanwhile, approaching drivers on the main corridor do not anticipate a surge because the earlier evening flow had already stabilized.

The result is abrupt braking on the main carriageway.

This exposure intensifies due to lighting imbalance. Event venues are brightly illuminated. The main corridor, though lit by headlights and scattered street lighting, remains comparatively darker. Vehicles emerging from bright venue spaces require brief visual adaptation to the lower-light roadway.

In addition, drivers departing events may experience mild fatigue after prolonged social activity. Reaction time remains functional, but decision timing becomes less precise.

Seasonality defines frequency. In summer, outdoor venues along Karaoglanoglu seafront host frequent late-night events. In winter, the pattern narrows to occasional weekends but does not disappear.

Historically, before beach-front hospitality density expanded and event-based venues multiplied, late-night synchronized departures were rare. The corridor maintained a gradual traffic decay after 22:00. Today, departure waves periodically reintroduce density well past midnight.

The risk rarely escalates into high-speed collision. It produces sudden compression triggered by underestimated exit volume during late-night hours.

As long as event venues discharge multiple vehicles into a linear coastal axis without staggered flow control, post-23:30 exit surges will remain a recurring night-time exposure along Karaoglanoglu coastal corridor.
