Cars entering WUF13 lanes to be fined

As part of transport arrangements for the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum (WUF13), temporary special traffic lanes have been established on several streets and avenues in Baku, the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA) told Olaylar.

According to the agency, 5.9 "lane for public transport" road signs have been installed at these locations, and starting today, the temporary lanes marked with these signs are in use.

The special lanes cover Heydar Aliyev Avenue - Airport Highway, as well as Abbasgulu Agha Bakikhanov, Yusif Safarov, Mehdi Abbasov, Mikayil Aliyev, and Mikayil Mushfig streets.

By law, these lanes have the status of bus lanes, and during their period of validity, other vehicles entering them will be fined.

Once the event concludes, the signs will be removed, and all vehicles will again be allowed to use the temporarily designated lanes.
