The methodology used is descriptive research design. Based on the study the main cause for the accidents is found to be human factor particularly related with over speeding of drivers. Other factors like infrastructure, environment and vehicular factor contributed less than 10% of the accidents. The main victims of the accidents are pedestrians that are youth working groups of the society aged 18-30. To reduce the problem the government has set different institutions and legislations. However, the number of accidents has shown no sign of decrease over the past five years. The lack of proper knowledge on traffic safety, research based legislation, poor enforcement of the legislation, lack of coordination and inadequate emergency medical services contributed for the increasing number of accidents. By looking at the gaps of some of the legislative, institutional and policy measures of the government policy recommendations are given to reduce the extent of the problem.</dc:description> <dc:identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/3782</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>10.20372/nadre:3782</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>oai:zenodo.org:3782</dc:identifier> <dc:relation>doi:10.20372/nadre:3781</dc:relation> <dc:relation>url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/aau</dc:relation> <dc:relation>url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo</dc:relation> <dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights> <dc:rights>http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by</dc:rights> <dc:title>Causes, Consequences and Policy Directions of Addis Ababa Road Traffic Accidents</dc:title> <dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis</dc:type> <dc:type>publication-thesis</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
