A More Walkable, Cyclable, and Accessible Future for Addis Ababa

🚗 A More Walkable, Cyclable, and Accessible Future for Addis Ababa

1️⃣ Addis Ababa’s Vision for Modern Urban Mobility

Addis Ababa is transforming the way people move. The city’s new Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) strategy, developed with partners like UN-Habitat, ITDP Africa, and UN Environment, is bringing safer sidewalks, protected cycle lanes, and better pedestrian crossings across the capital.

The goal is clear: make daily movement more sustainable, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone — from business travelers to local residents.

2️⃣ Building the New Addis: 600 km of Walkways & 200 km of Cycle Tracks

Over the next few years, Addis Ababa plans to build:

• 600 km of pedestrian footpaths

• 200 km of dedicated cycle lanes

• Improved lighting and street safety measures

These upgrades will reshape how visitors and residents explore the city — whether on foot, by bicycle, or in chauffeur-driven vehicles.

3️⃣ What This Means for Travelers

For travelers and professionals visiting Addis, these changes mean easier access between offices, hotels, and city landmarks.

• Shorter car routes thanks to improved traffic flow

• Greener neighborhoods perfect for walking meetings or short strolls

• More scenic routes ideal for Sunday drives and leisure tours

CRA’s chauffeur and car rental services are adapting to this vision by offering flexible trip plans, combining vehicle access with short walking or sightseeing stops around the new corridors.
