A total of 68 road accidents were recorded on the roads of Baku during the first three months of this year, with 43 of these incidents involving pedestrians being struck by vehicles.
The Intelligent Transport Management Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) provided this information to the Operative Information Center-OMM. According to the official report, these accidents resulted in the deaths of 21 pedestrians, while 24 others sustained various degrees of physical injuries.
Road safety remains a critical priority for the government in Azerbaijan, which has been implementing modern traffic management systems and infrastructure improvements across the capital. The Intelligent Transport Management Center (NIIM) under the MIA plays a central role in monitoring traffic flow and coordinating emergency responses to reduce the frequency of such incidents. In recent years, Baku has seen significant investments in the construction of new pedestrian crossings and the installation of digital signaling systems to enhance safety on the city's increasingly busy thoroughfares.
