Traffic management in Baku has become a priority for urban authorities as the city continues to expand its infrastructure. The Intellectual Transport Management Center utilizes a network of cameras and sensors to monitor real-time flow and optimize signal timings. Such congestion is typical during peak hours in the capital, often exacerbated by the high volume of vehicles traveling between the city center and suburban residential areas.
