As part of the preparations for WUF13, the next monitoring of vehicle traffic will be conducted.
According to the WUF13 Operations Company, in order to ensure safe and efficient management of traffic flow during the Thirteenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13), which will be held in Baku from May 17 to 22, 2026, the WUF13 Azerbaijan Operations Company and relevant authorities will jointly conduct the next monitoring of vehicle traffic.
It was stated that within the framework of the monitoring, temporary traffic regulations will be applied on a number of streets and avenues in Baku on May 1 from 10:00 to 16:00. The monitoring will cover Neftchilar Avenue, Yusif Safarov Street, partially Heydar Aliyev Avenue (up to the Sabunchu bridge), Mehdi Huseyn Street, Khojaly Avenue, Richard Sorge Street, Zarifa Aliyeva Street, Lermontov Street, as well as the directions leading to the Baku Olympic Stadium, where the event will take place.
“Drivers and other road users are requested to plan their movements in advance on the specified date, take into account possible congestion in the mentioned directions, and use alternative routes.
The H1 express bus route operating between Heydar Aliyev International Airport and the city center will continue its operations 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. It is recommended to plan trips in advance to avoid delays.
The monitoring of vehicle traffic conducted before WUF13 has also been applied and successfully implemented within the framework of preparations for a number of global events held in Azerbaijan over the last ten years,” the statement says.
