Analysis of accidents recorded within the scope of surveillance cameras shows that the number of road traffic incidents in Baku caused by driver inattention is not small. Drivers should be aware that during movement, any vehicle can experience a technical malfunction, which can lead to the car being forced to stop on the roadway. In such situations, the inattention of other drivers, the use of mobile phones or other distractions while driving, leads to a failure to reduce speed in time and, consequently, an accident. Especially on busy streets and avenues, such incidents result in fatalities and injuries, serious damage to vehicles, and artificial traffic congestion.
As a result of the accident on the Airport highway, the traffic congestion towards the city center near the "Koroglu" metro station was eliminated after the prompt intervention of traffic police officers.
This was stated in an appeal from the Intelligent Transport Management Center (NİİM) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to drivers.
Taking all this into account, NİİM calls on drivers to be more attentive on the roads, maintain a proper distance, avoid using distracting devices while driving, and behave responsibly.
