የሌላው ሌላ ነው, አቶ መለስ ጫት እየቃሙ ሲሾፍሩ እንዳይገኙ ነው የምፈራው።

Good luck enforcing those rules!

ድንጋጌው አስፈላጊና እንዲያውም በጣም የዘገየ ነው። የመንገድ ክፍልፋይ ሰርጥ ወይም ቀጠና ወይንም "ሌይን" መኖር ለይስሙላ መሆን እስካሁን የሚገርመኝ ነገር ነበር። አንድ የመኪና አስተናባሪ ባለሥልጣን መንገድ መብራት ላይ የሚያውቀውን አሽከርካሪ ከመኪናው አውርዶ እያቀፈ ሰላም ሲል አይቼ የሳቅኩበት ጊዜ ነበር።
አንዳንዶቹ ድንጋጌዎች ግን ጥናት ያስፈልጋቸው ነበር። ላምሳሌ የመኪና ቀበቶ ጉዳይ አሳሳቢ ሆኖ ነው ያገኘሁት።
ባጠቃላይ ግን ጥሩ እርምጃ ነው። እሰየው።

good job,guys......good luck.

No Bluetooth - No hands free device (including bluetooth car-kits - how funny is that?) --- Isn't that too much? Better to be harsh & strict on drink-drivers and chewing Qat/chat while driving!!

P.S. Years ago, my mates in Addis rediculed & named me "BosToo" for having a seat-belt while driving my dad's Toyota ....!!!

----

death penality !!! For all violations, zenawi can live with that...)

Hi All,
Expect Dr.Are Mariam to write an article next Monday opposing this new rule.Any way he is single and he has got a lot of time this holiday season.By the way, Happy New year to all and congratulation to Nazret administrators for being Top Ethiopian website.

GREAT START,GOD BLESS EPRDF

this country need low of life goodjob eprdf they are dormant people they must to learn

WE DON'T ALLOW DRIVIGN WHILE CHEWING
CHAT BUT YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING IT.

This is really a good thing. There must always be a road rule in every country. It was embarrassing to see people, cars and sometimes animals traveling together on the main roads. People and vehicles should be separated; in the mean time it could minimize accidents.

Mobile phones, the curse of technology, this is a problem all over the world. What makes me wonder is, in Addis ababa where cars are stick shifts and people has to make frequent stops, one hand has to remain free in order to shift gears.how in the world drivers manage to taik on their cell phones while driving? Anyways the authorities in Addis are doing good job to minimize the accidents.

Katha edulis (Chat) minew teresa?

Almost 80% of the cars in Addis Ababa are outdated and the safety belt never used. Practicaly are not road worthy.
The government should ban all cars under 15 years and allow new brand on the market.
Hope they realize this at least.

good starting we soport you ouer Government
from Israel

Good…how about drank drivers and drivers who are eating “Chat” while they are driving? I think these are the most dangerous thing to do while you are operating a motor vehicle.

What jokes! Is this a kind of latest showoff of woyane regime?
This is simply a woyane latest copy cat stylish from western countries. Such restrictions isn't yet suited a poor country like Ethiopia due to not many cares on the roads that driving with mobile phone.This is the most stupidity and funny things that woyane regime wants to spread and make news.

Its a kind of their famous reports of the country's economic growth monthly or that yearly capital income growths.

What good imitations of western restrictions!
In Ethiopia,we don't even have many cars,cellphones and that enough good roads people to drive.

So I really wonder of what these people talking about? So the next woyane restriction is what? A Chine's style of one child per each family.

C'omon guys,there is no much mobile phones over there(Addis Ababa) except those very few people of elite business people and some higher ranked woyane governments.
There's no availability freedoms of that having mobile phones in Ethiopia at all.So what are they talking about.Like that monkey see monkey do,Woyane see woyane acts exactly like the monkey they start copying around the world so the next copy we should wait and expect from woyane is that restrictions of childern like the chines peoples.
Because they copied too many from western countries so why not copying too from china?



Happy new year for all of you.

Good Job ,a better move than some 0f the Road Traffic safety regulations here in the USA.
But,what about some of the most corrupt traffic police officers ?

At first, I was in favor of the new laws. But, when I thought about it carefully, I realize that it is just one other way to milk the residents of whatever money is left in their pockets. That is also the reason for forbidding people to give alms to beggars. Instead of spending the money on beggars the people of Addis are now kindly asked to ditribute this money betwqeen the government and the greedy traffic officer.

Had the government been serious about preventing accidents and not collecting undue taxes, there would have been enough time given to drivers (grace period - of learning) to stop using their mobile phones.
Had the government been serious in preventing death of drivers and passengers for lack of restrainer such as seat belts, they would have imported suffiecient good belts or have these belts made in ethiopia before the law becomes effective.
All they need is money. This is one source of it.
Wait for more seemingly good but undue tax collectinglaws.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR GRAMMER BEFORE YOU POST YOUR COMMENTS.(THIS IS FOR HAILU)NO OFFENSE...ANY WAYS I SUPPORT THE RULE..LIKE ATO SAID, NEED TO THINK ABOUT ENFORCING LAWS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS AND CHAT CHEWERS...

The moron woyane regime makes this low to fill tplf police Pocket with cash taken from drivers.You can drive drunk in Ethiopia but can't use even blue tooth.Stupid low like their sick PM.What about chewing khat and hashish in the palace?

lets see the law in action...its just words from the authorities and ignorance from the people as usual

Hailu

Please go to school or don`t comment ! maferiya

Very well done! diversion......diversion.............................................................................................d.........diversion

It is good taking safety measures, but how much could we inforce it and it. Drivers should pull over to talk but is there a sholder on the street to pull over?
Is ther enough pedstrain cross lines or you have to go 10 K to cross road?

I want a job as pollice if you know what I mean!
Trafics will make mega BUCKS!

Since there is more money coming in from inforcing I hope the government will hire inspectors for HODAM trafic and the inspectors whould be moved around the city everyday so that they would not work with trafic!

Anyways this is good and bad news!

What do you mean Assefa Mezgbu is no longer alive he passed away last year

how about drinking and driving??????????

Good law. Next law baning Diaspora from bloging while drunk.

What about all those old cars who donot have seat belts ? This makes the traffic more happier than anybody else. They have got some more reasons to accept bribes.

Errrrrrrrr here we go a good start but as usual we are 7 years behind the rest of the world!

Where were we when the rest of the World was banning the use of mobile phones whilst driving in the early 2000's?
Opps we did not have any back then
Now let's be honest how many of the 1965 clunkers on our roads even have seat belts among the 10,000+ Ladas or Datsun 120Y's? Are they going to make everyone retro fit seat belts that comply with current Int safety standards? It should be noted that simply bolting and using and un tested locally made leather "strap" as a "seatbelt" is probably many times more dangerous to use than not wearing a seat belt.

The cars on the road them selves also need to meet 2000's safety standards. KENYA has even banned the importation of any car more than 7 years OLD, while we still pick up any junk from the 1960's and import it. A 200% tax/excise duty also makes it impossible for all but the few millionaires to import brand new cars

How many Zebra crossings are they going to paint all across Addis and will they paint them in the proper Place? Not directly in front of the stadium have you ever tried to cross there with it's express way? an over head crossing is safer. And do the Drivers even understand that the Pedestriant has right of way on a Zebra crossing?

Finally Is this law for all or for only the taxi drivers and little people? By the way that traffic cop is sure working Hard holding up the traffic ligh LOL

very good. but good luck enforcing it.

Good ppl should not drive while they driving...

You Stupid Woyane I think Al comes in your dream too… he become a nightmare for most of the woyne thugs…

P/s impliment in to practice it shouldn`t be theoretical. Follow the other countries driving system, rule and regulations.

good job guy's good luck

It is good start but far from addressing the main issues such as the paradoxically famous drunk driving, sex in the car, drinking in the car, forced boarding, driving in the late, etc
Happy New year for non-Ethiopian Orthodox Liberation Front's calender users!

I like it though it is too late. It is good for the safety of the society in general. good jub indeed!!

Good job, good start! Who ever he or she is when some body does some thing good for society compromissing that person makes to do more good things for community.
Forget politics ( woyane, shabia, olf,kinijit, unity. ginbot7 etc...)
how about drunk drivers and chewing chat?

Dear Fellow country men/women, This is a very great day for implementation of traffic safety in Ethiopia. You might take it lightly, I see so many non sense in this blog, so many non sense comments already for this interesting victory in ROAD SAFETY.i so I am writing to so many serios readers who love thier country and who can judge sense with non sense.Many intelectauls from within aEthiopia and abroad have contributed to this development be it from the traffic police, transport authority,WHO,committed individuals, university staff, expatriats ats and others.This is begning of a long journy of implementation which is not easy.Many African countries haven't even passed such bill, so this is an add to the policy. I wish I wish enforcement will be equally regarded and followed to achief the goal of minimaum accident rate and be poneer in Africa. Congradulations to all who contributed to the traffic safety moto in Ethiopia and elese where in the world. With best regards Tsega

hahaha

Good job

the right time to move ethiopia and applay trafic police.

perfect wow we need this kind of think
but be for every i thing give knowlage.each and every one.
God bless ethiopia

thesolution to the problem is not new rules just enforcing the existing rules properly find a solution to the corrupt traficpolice which usualy punish the good drivers in my last visit i was told by friends not to use signal lights and seat belts i laughed and ask why theytold me trafic cops will stop u because they know you are diaspora it is funny and sad at the same time mr mayor deal with ur corrupt trafic office first new rules new opportunties for ur officers.

oh Gash it is good i apprecaite that it is good stating and also think about insurance and insurance policy for drivers or auto owners too....

If they can afford to buy a car,they can afford to pay for any traffic offence violations.It is good for the country,pedestrians and drivers as well.

It is funny and rediculous....betam zegeyacheu.....actually you are always late....

. . .only for ordinary people, while these influentialand and well known cronies are untouchable!!!. . .

Good move, I hope this will change the traffic jungle of Addis. It has been a night mare for tooooo long. By I am sure that more than 80% of the vehichels in Addis do not meet the basic standard to stay in the roads. Expand the collective transport system and get rid off those death machines out of street. Good luck!!
