Traffic in Addis Ababa

This video was supposedly taken at the Ring Road in Addis Ababa. Throughout all the years I've been in East Africa, I've heard that the craziest traffic is, in order of craziest to crazy but less so:

• Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
• Kampala, Uganda
• Nairobi, Kenya
• Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Based on this video, they're all about the same!

Run well ... especially if you have to cross traffic like this!

Everyday Traffic in Nairobi

Great blog post from a Daily Nation (Nairobi) writer. This kind of traffic is not an occasional thing but an everyday occurrence. It starts about about 6:30 AM and continues until 9:00 PM or later. The only day it's not like this is Sunday. Now showing on Nairobi roads

Because of the crazy traffic, I have to run at 6:00 AM or put my life at the mercy of some of these people.

Run well, y'all,
Bob
