    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This study examines the cause and consequences of RTA in Addis Ababa from 2013/14 - 2017/18&lt;br&gt;
and aimed at recommending policy directions. The methodology used is descriptive research&lt;br&gt;
design. Based on the study the main cause for the accidents is found to be human factor particularly&lt;br&gt;
related with over speeding of drivers. Other factors like infrastructure, environment and vehicular&lt;br&gt;
factor contributed less than 10% of the accidents. The main victims of the accidents are pedestrians&lt;br&gt;
that are youth working groups of the society aged 18-30. To reduce the problem the government&lt;br&gt;
has set different institutions and legislations. However, the number of accidents has shown no sign&lt;br&gt;
of decrease over the past five years. The lack of proper knowledge on traffic safety, research based&lt;br&gt;
legislation, poor enforcement of the legislation, lack of coordination and inadequate emergency&lt;br&gt;
medical services contributed for the increasing number of accidents. By looking at the gaps of&lt;br&gt;
some of the legislative, institutional and policy measures of the government policy&lt;br&gt;
recommendations are given to reduce the extent of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
