How would you like to drive in Addis Abba?

Meskel Square, a massive intersection in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, is a complete free-for-all. With multiple lanes of traffic arriving at it from every direction, and without a single traffic light anywhere in sight, I wonder how on earth there aren't more collisions between the various cars, trucks, mini-vans and other vehicles passing through it at all hours of the day. Would you be able to handle it?

Forget driving, how about walking?

I first started by looking at the auto chaos and then zeroed in on the pedestrian crosswalk. Whoooeeee!

I didn't see one fender bender or a person get squashed! Amazing!

Sure was. Imagine if it was one of us trying to make those moves!
