  "description": "<p>Walking is a basic human activity, and is usually the first and last mode used, providing an important link between land use and motorized travel. Pedestrian facilities are any pedestrianrelated infrastructures, such as crosswalks, intersections, and sidewalks. They provide the only mode of transit available to all people, able and disabled. Pedestrian safety is a critical issue in Ethiopia. Reports show that 50 to 60% of traffic fatality victims in the country are pedestrians (WHO, 2013a; 2009). Despite this, the pedestrian pathway of Addis Ababa is by far one of the lowest by any international standards, the streetscapes is a serious problem in the city, street furniture&lsquo;s are not well designed, in some active area of the city side walk width is not enough for people to walk. Therefore, removing obstacles and making safety for pedestrians has become a very integral part of any transport planning. The aim of this study is to investigate the challenges that are facing pedestrian pathway and its impacts on people movement from Imperial hotel to Gerjii (Roba Bakery) and it covers 1.2mile or around 2km. The study also enquires the rate of utilization, location appropriateness, spacing, and level of service of pedestrian pathway. Three local reference points along the Imperial hotel to Gerjii (Roba Bakery) road were selected. Guideline from HCM2010 was used to determine the Pedestrian Level of Service based on three flow rate (VP), average pedestrian space/area (AP) and volume to capacity ratio (V/C). Primary data like pedestrian count every 15-minute; questionnaire survey, field observation and pedestrian level of service measurements are used. Hence, in this study 185,012 pedestrian were observed during pedestrian count.</p>",
