This is hard to believe. Glad I don’t have to drive or walk here. Id have a heart attack! Pay special attention to the pedestrians on the right hand side moving from 1 to 5 oclock positions and then the ones near the top moving from 2 to 10 oclock positions. In the US we, would have 120 dead pedestrians and 500 car accidents in this mayhem? No overdone security. No safety first doctrine. No rules ...and the result is: Efficiency!!! Really a surprise? Major Intersection and No Traffic Lights. This is what a major intersection with no traffic lights looks like. How they are able to avoid accidents is quite remarkable! In this time lapse video we see the intersection at Meskel Square, the nerve center of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. While the square is a primary site for the citys large festivals and celebrations, it is also a chaotic crossroad for thousands and thousands of vehicles daily. This is organized confusion at its finest. Pedestrians, walk with care!
