On 18 September, traffic access will be permitted between 07:00–09:00 in the morning and 20:00–22:00 in the evening.

It should be noted that Baku is one of the rare city circuits in Formula 1 where roads are opened during peak hours even on race week. In 2024, following the race, Baku returned to its normal rhythm at record speed: within just 16 hours,60% of the protective barriers were dismantled and removed, and the city was fully restored within a single day.
Thus, both the successful organization of the race and the daily comfort of residents are ensured in parallel.
