As of the latest report, heavy traffic is observed in the following areas:

The Intelligent Transport Management Center in Baku monitors traffic flow in real-time to optimize signal timings and provide updates to the public. Traffic density in the capital often increases during peak morning and evening hours due to the high volume of vehicles entering the city from suburban areas like Sumgait and the Absheron Peninsula. Authorities recommend that drivers use alternative routes where possible to avoid delays and ensure smoother transit through the capital's main transport arteries.
