Expressive Clarity Final Assignment

1. Traffic Congestion in Addis Ababa Amanuel Roba

2. Roads Roads in Addis Ababa follow a narrow and unplanned layout (Zewdie et al., 2021). Obvious solution would be to build wider roads. A comprehensive solution is needed to address congestion ( Alebe et al., 2023).

3. Urban Planning Comprehensive approach includes urban planning strategies. Implementing parking laws and fines on congested roads. Regulating parking spaces and enforcing laws to reduce traffic congestion.
