Baku streets will remain open for traffic in the mornings and evenings during this year’s race week, APA reports, citing a statement by the Baku City Circuit (BCC).
It was noted that as part of the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025, which will take place on September 19–21, certain sections of the capital's streets will be accessible for traffic.
"To ensure the convenience of city residents, transit corridors will be operational again this year. Accordingly, from September 15 to 17, vehicle movement will be allowed on some parts of the track between 07:00–09:00 in the morning and 18:00–20:00 in the evening, and on September 18, between 07:00–09:00 in the morning and 20:00–22:00 in the evening.
Entry points:
- From Salyan Highway → Neftchilar Avenue and Azneft Square
- From M. Lermontov Street → 50th Anniversary of the UN Street and Istiglaliyyat Street
- From S. Vurgun Street → Uzeyir Hajibeyli Street and Bulbul Avenue

These roads are intended for transit purposes only; stopping and parking are prohibited," says the statement.
It was noted that Baku is one of the few Formula 1 city circuits where roads are opened during peak hours even in race week: "In 2024, after the race, Baku returned to its normal rhythm at record speed—60% of the protective barriers were dismantled and removed from the area within just 16 hours, and the city was fully restored within a day. Thus, both the organization of the race and the daily comfort of city residents are ensured simultaneously."
