As part of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13), which will be held in Baku on May 17–22, 2026, the next monitoring of vehicle movement will be carried out jointly by the WUF13 Azerbaijan Operating Company and relevant institutions in order to ensure the safe and efficient management of traffic flow, the WUF13 Operating Company told APA.
Within the framework of the monitoring, temporary traffic regulations will be applied on several streets and avenues in the city of Baku on May 1 from 10:00 to 16:00.
It was reported that the monitoring will cover Neftchilar Avenue, Yusif Safarov Street, partially Heydar Aliyev Avenue (up to the Sabunchu Bridge), Mehdi Huseyn Street, Khojali Avenue, Richard Sorge Street, Zarifa Aliyeva Street, Lermontov Street, as well as routes leading to the event venue, the Baku Olympic Stadium.
“Drivers and other road users are requested to plan their movements in advance on the mentioned data, take into account possible congestion along the specified routes, and use alternative roads.
The H1 express bus route operating between Heydar Aliyev International Airport and the city center will continue to operate normally and without interruption. At the same time, during this period, private vehicles and taxis will be able to freely enter and exit the airport area via alternative routes. In order to prevent delays, it is recommended to plan trips in advance.
The monitoring of vehicle movement conducted ahead of WUF13 has also been applied and successfully implemented over the past ten years as part of preparations for several global events held in Azerbaijan,” the statement said.
