Road traffic injuries are among the leading causes of death and life-long disability globally. Road traffic fatalities disproportionately affect low-and middle-income countries. In Africa, the numbers of road traffic injuries and deaths have been increasing over the last three decades. Ethiopia has lost 5,118 lives in 2018 due to road traffic accident, while over ten thousand had heavy and light injuries. Despite efforts made by various stakeholders to reduce the losses on Ethiopian roads, road traffic accidents are a raising concern in the country.
