Preparations for COP29 are stepping up a gear in Baku, with ongoing monitoring of transport management across some city streets and avenues. The aim is to ensure smooth and safe traffic flow throughout the conference.
Overnight, between 02:30 and 05:30 on October 26-27, a crucial test run will take place. This will see transport management monitored across key routes, simulating the expected traffic flow during COP29. The exercise is a joint operation involving the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency. The plan accounts for all anticipated traffic, including not only COP29 vehicles and shuttles but also emergency ambulances and fire engines. To facilitate the monitoring, some city streets will see temporary traffic diversions. Further details will be released shortly.
Additionally, on October 26 and 27, COP29 shuttles will undergo monitoring on the streets and avenues of Baku without imposing any traffic restrictions to avoid causing inconvenience to the public.
