Trucks will not be allowed to enter Baku

Entering of large-tonnage trucks Baku can be prohibited in the near future, Transport Ministry reported.

According to Ministry, this step purposes simplify the traffic in the city and also protect the road surface: ‘Large trucks, as well as TIRs create obstacles in city traffic, plus, damage road surface’.

As a way out, it is decided to prohibit entrance of large-tonnage trucks to the city and transport the cargo by smaller trucks. For this purpose, cargo terminals will be constructed in the different entrances of the capital. Cargos will be unloaded from trucks and loaded in smaller ones. The exact number of terminals, to be constructed in the entrances of the city, has not been fixed yet. But the source told that they will be built in northern and southern entrances of Baku.
