A construction project around the financial district of Mexico area envelops a traffic light. The lack of proper road signs and necessary traffic lights was a contributing factor to the capital averaging around 8,000 accidents a year where close to 15pc were fatal. The lack of proper construction modalities and an arbitrary set of laws during the issuance of building permits also cause unnecessary traffic jams and accidents. As part of a city-wide effort to create a uniform transport landscape, the Addis Abeba Transport Bureau has banned rickshaws from main roads and seeks to push Russian-produced Lada from the city's streets. While aesthetics remain to be the concern of the authorities, the capital's transport industry is ranked 162 in the world by Startup Blink.
