| dc.description.abstract | Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major public health concern, resulting in an estimated 1.2 Million deaths and 50 million injuries worldwide in each year (Tibebe B. and Shawndra H., 2005). In the developing world, Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are among the leading cause of death and injury; Ethiopia in particular experiences the highest rate of such accidents. The main aim of the study was to analyze the Impacts of Speed and Traffic volume at Black spot areas in Addis Abeba city. To identify the black spot areas carried out field data observation and identifying major urban road traffic accident black-spots which was a sub city based analysis of evidences from the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and identified the major accident black spots in each sub-city of Addis Ababa separately. For this purpose, secondary data also obtained from Addis Ababa City Traffic police commission employed. Finally, this research presents Traffic Volume, Speed study results, capacity and level of service of the selected black spot areas. Accordingly, KaraKore – W/Mariam and Torhailoch – Bethel have a level of service of B while Total – Zenebework have LOS of A. However, the segments are currently satisfactorily serving. Synthesis of strategies designed to improve urban transportation Safety and efficiency by targeting speeding and traffic volumes as improving pedestrian facilities in urban areas such as those found in Addis Ababa city. | en_US |
