Road Safety in Azerbaijan

We support road safety in Azerbaijan through our local partners, the National Automobile Club of Azerbaijan (AMAK).

AMAK was founded in 1999 and has been a member of Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) since 2014. AMAK actively promotes road safety and sustainable mobility and focuses on combining advocacy with capacity building, awareness raising and behavioural research to make Azerbaijan’s roads safer for all.

AMAK works in close partnership with the State Road Police, the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, AYNA, the Ministry of Science and Education as well as municipalities, schools and private companies across Azerbaijan, such as Bolt Azerbaijan with whom they signed a partnership in 2026. They also work with international partners including the FIA, the FIA Foundation and iRAP. AMAK has developed and implemented a number of advocacy campaigns calling for policy change on a number of issues with regards to road safety awareness, the use of child restraint systems in cars, pedestrian safety, black spot mapping, and accessible mobility. Additionally, they offer road safety training sessions to corporations and the general public.

In recent years, AMAK have worked to address children’s road safety through a series of initiatives, under their Safe School Zones Programme. Launched in 2021, the project combines research, the planning and implementation of infrastructure and post-intervention evaluation to make roads around schools safer for children. With the support of local authorities, AMAK has introduced new speed limits, signs, road markings and pedestrian crosses at 5 schools. This project exemplifies AMAK’s evidence-based approach to road safety and commitment to self-assessment to inform their work to create lasting positive change in communities across Azerbaijan.
