Restrictions on vehicle traffic on several central streets in Baku will apply not only at weekends but on all days of the week.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that the information was released by the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA) under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport.
According to the information, the decision was made to improve mobility, ensure pedestrian convenience and promote walking.
The restrictions will apply to the section of Zarifa Aliyeva Street after its intersection with Rasul Rza Street, as well as Abdulkarim Alizade, Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, Tarlan Aliyarbayov and Yusif Mammadaliyev streets.
According to AYNA, the initiative is intended to improve connectivity between pedestrian zones, create a more convenient and safer environment in the city center, and support the development of the area’s tourism and business potential.
Who will be allowed to enter?
The new rules will not apply equally to all vehicles.
Residents with individual parking permits, as well as vehicles providing emergency, medical, utility and logistics services, will be allowed to enter and leave the area.
The new rules will be introduced on a trial basis from Oct. 5.
