I USED TO ASK MY SELF WHY IN THE WORLD A MAGER CITY LIKE ADDIS WARE THERE IS AFRICAN UNION.OFTEN CALLED THE " CAPITAL OF AFRICA " DUE TO ITS HISTORICAL,DIPLOMATIC AND POLITICAL SIGNIFCANCE FOR THE CONTINENT FALL TO THINK THE NECESSITY OF HAVING A BASIC THING LIKE ROAD SIGNS.
NEVER TO LATE

340 sign for 17 million it means each sign is cost around 45.thousand i used work in sign business when i was in ethiopia this to much money for sign i can make this sign less than 7.million including installation i wonder why ethiopian company could't win the auction.

Do we have to carry magnifier while driving all that crap written with small font?

Finishing is always zero, why the freken sigen is so small?

What do you mean by 17 million birr for 340 signs? What an expensive project? Is is going to mean 50000 birr for one sign? God!

I can’t not express my happiness for this to happen as me and my family were a victim of a horrible story on my recent trip to Ethiopia. After coming back from visiting someone’s home (Lekso) in a dark and because so many roads were dug up for construction we ended up on this ring road only to find ourselves going round in circles. You might not believe it but it took us three and half hours going in circle and getting lost in every direction. Thank God we meet a police officer who was searching those big lorries coming into town and directed us to the right way. Some of you might say how one can be lost in Addis but where there was no sign all you do is going round in circle without knowing where you are and where you were going. I still have the expression of three girls face when we asked them which way is to Mexico Adebabi? For them to scream and tell us we are actually getting into Sebeta and told us to go back to the direction of where we came from. The other funny thing was there was this big truck broken down in unusual way in the middle of the road and you will never believe how many times we passed it. How that happened I still couldn’t figure it out. At the time it was very very scary and annoying to the extent that we were all arguing and shouting at each other because it was dark and our car was not so reliable does not even show how much petrol we had left and we had elderly people in the car and on top of that for me it was only my 2nd day in Addis. I remember my elderly mother praying and saying please “Gebremenfeskidus do something”. All I am saying is this is a very very good news for those who live in Ethiopia and visiters.!!!!

Its good to see the progress and modernization of the city. This should have happened already, but its better late than never. May God continue to bless the gorgeous nation and people of mother Ethiopia!!!!

Ethiopia first above anything or soul!!

Whatever.
These signs were designed by CRBC for someone who has an urge to stop by to any close by church along the ring road for prayer service in case of emergency rather than to a nearest Hospital along the road.
By the end of next rainy season, these mad in China signs will fade away, knock down by strong wind or our inexperienced truck drivers!

It is not too late for road sing,but not only on the ring road,you need it every where. About the ring road,luck of exits. the city need to open an exit roads for cars to get to a destination they need.so exit exit exit verey important for the ring road.

First of all I would like to congradulte the AACRA for making this happen. I'm delighted and proud to see the positive impact that will have for Ethiopians as well as visitors. Having read some of the comment it is very frustrating and demoralizing to here that some people still complain about how the words are small and we spend too much money. One thing we must understand is we don't have the manufacturing and resources to be able to manufcture this road signs in Ethiopia. Otherwise we could have done it without having spend that sort of money to other country. In other word, if we wait to do that we could wait forever. Please let us be reasonable & Constructive on our criticism. Love to all Ethiopians Tigi

The ethiopia ROAD authorities are the CORRUPTED org in history of ethiopia. There fore we should CLEAN all the HODDAMS from that office.

What is good for the gander is good for goose!

The locals city dwellers, local public buses and tax operators, and the local authority know the local name of every part of Addis Ababa even without the street sign. The lack of street signs in this large cosmopolitan city used to take a long time for a foreign or visitor to master and navigate independently in the city. And this is probably what kept the city safe from the enemy for centuries. But, with the introduction of street signs, people like Al-Shabab and others may now find it easy to navigate through it at ease and play their deadly hide and seek games in the city!! Think.
