Meskel Square Intersection

Never complain about traffic again. Here's a day in the life of one of the most ridiculous intersections in the world - Meskel Square, Addis Abeba, the capital of Ethiopia.

Looks like everyone has to yield except the buses.

Full sized trucks have to yield occasionally but mostly get their way.

No one stops for a pedestrian.

I conclude that the larger the vehicle, the more right-of-way it commands.

Crazy, but it looks like it was speeded up

LOL But.....there are some pretty good drivers in that melee! ;-)

Wonder what this is like at night? Stay away, very far away, especially if a pedestrian!

Maybe this would be a good place to send BBC’s “Top Gear” trio, they like challenges, right?

I think I saw a couple of .50 caliber technicals fly by about 2:32.

FReepathon day 40.

Two percent a day keeps the 404 away.

ROTFLOL - Thank you for this video.

I know it’s been speeded up some, but it’s outrageously funny. I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. I needed that.

Thanks, again.
