In order to ensure safe and efficient traffic management during the Thirteenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13), which will be held in Baku from May 17-22, 2026, the WUF13 Azerbaijan Operating Company and relevant authorities will jointly conduct another monitoring of vehicle traffic.
“Elchi” reports that, as part 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 to operate normally and without interruption. At the same time, during this period, private vehicles and taxis will be able to enter and exit the airport area freely via alternative routes. It is recommended to plan trips in advance to avoid delays.
The monitoring of vehicle traffic held 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.
