I would say even it would be cheaper but there is road junction in that area. That is why it is impossible to do it over there in that circle road.

This project is for avoiding traffic jams in that area during rush hours. And it is nothing to do with defendant driving.

Does the yellow edge markings in Azerbaijan have a spesific meaning? I notice Sovjet style road signs, but the Sovjet standard road marking was all white.

Great roads in Baku btw!!!

Budget of WB Highway Project III in Azerbaijan to exceed $296 mln

The World Bank Group (WBG) is preparing to approve the 3rd Highway Project in Azerbaijan.

The Baku-based WB representative office reports that consideration of the project by the Bank’s Board of Directors is scheduled for 25 May.

“Government’s stake in project budget will exceed $50 million,” the WB office said.

The WB itself will grant a $246 million loan for the project. As a result, the project budget will exceed $296 million.

It is supposed that $70 million will be allocated under standards of the International Development Association (IDA) and $176 million – under standards of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).

This project will concern mainly expansion of Baku-Shemakha road by two more traffic lanes.

On 3 February the Azerbaijani Ministry of Transport closed the expression of interest to consulting services on this project.

The purpose of consulting services was preparation of the project on expansion of Baku-Shemakhi-Yevlakh highway section between 45-122 kilometers from two to four lanes, in particular, preparation of bids on the project, preparation of plan of measures on transfers in connection with construction work, choice of suitable alternatives.

The start of works is scheduled for April 2010.

The feasibility study on the project works was made by Scott Wilson.

In 2008 fiscal year the Bank approved $300 million of extra financing for Highway Project II for further works on reconstruction of Alat-Astara highway and construction of a by-pass road between the Tagiyev and Sahil settlements nearby Baku.

Highway Project II, for which International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) financed a $200 million loan, included provision of funds for reconstruction of Alat-Astara and Baku-Shemakhi highways, but $35 million of the loan has been re-directed for reconstruction of Kurdamir-Ujar highway with possible increase of financing up to $70 million.

It might mean do not pass but I don't believe the average Azeri motorist takes any notice of the road rules.
