Traffic management in Azerbaijan's capital is overseen by the Intelligent Transport Management Center, which utilizes a network of cameras and sensors to monitor flow and optimize signal timings. Such congestion is typical during peak hours in Baku as the city continues to expand its infrastructure to accommodate increasing vehicle volume. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes where possible to avoid delays in the central business districts and major entry points of the city.
