HIDDEN SIGNAL

Traffic lights in the Gotera area are being obscured by large, overgrown trees, with one pole visibly partially hidden. This issue raises serious safety concerns, compounded by Addis Abeba's rigorous traffic law enforcement. Violations are heavily penalized; a third-degree offense, such as disobeying a traffic light, incurs a 1500 Br fine and three penalty points. The Addis Ababa City Administration's data highlights the scale of the problem: over 100,000 traffic light violations, more than 27,600 speeding offenses, over 1,000 instances of driving without a license, and over 11,000 cases of operating unchecked vehicles were recorded in the last six months alone.
