As a result of long-term works in Azerbaijan a network of transport communications with transport knots of two levels (local and regional) was formed here, combining the main types of transport: automobile, railway, pipeline, air and sea. Baku-Sumgait, Yevlakh, Gjandzha, Gazakh-Agstafa, Shirvan-Kazimagamed-Alyat, Nakhichevan- Dzhula, Balaken-Zagataly, Lenkoran-Astara, Karabakh concern to the developed regional transport knots with difficult infrastructure. Typical features of the basic transport knots of Azerbaijan are considered, their role in settling of Azerbaijan is revealed, transport accessibility of separate economic region of Azerbaijan is analysed in the article. Considering the scheme of placement of the basic communications and transport knots of Azerbaijan, made by the author, it is necessary to note, that transport arteries of the country are most developed from the East on the West, and also in Baku - Astara, Baku - Khudat, Yevlakh-  Agdam and Yevlakh-Balaken direction.
