Road traffic crash is a serious problem in the world and highly prominent in developingrncountries. Road traffic crash cannot be totally stop, but using appropriate engineering measuresrnand road safety management and improvement the traffic crash rate can be decrease. The roadrnsafety improvements are supposed to be implemented to the hotspot location of traffic crashesrnwhere they have the most significance and on the other hand, excessive speeding is also one ofrnthe road safety problems. Thus, this study aimed at investigation of hotspot location andrnexcessive speeding in Addis Ababa city. To meet the objective of the research the researcher hasrngiven attention to collect traffic crash data and excessive speeding data from Addis Ababa PolicernCommission. The hotspot location identification was based on the ArcGIS software using KernelrnDensity Estimation and Getis-Ord Gi* tools in the software. Hence, the results of a studyrnregarding excessive speeding showed the existence of huge disparity among driversâ€™rndemography by their gender, age & driving experience levels, and vehicle types engaged inrnspeeding and variation of the extent of speeding above the posted speed limit among postedrnspeed limit. Comparing gender, male drivers were the most frequently engaged in excessivernspeeding than female drivers in the city. Moreover, the results confirmed that young driversrnunder the age categories from 25 to 40 regardless of their gender and those drivers less than 5rnyears driving experience are highly involved in excessive speeding. Based on vehicle typeâ€™srnautomobile, pickup, and mini-bus are the first three mostly involved in excessive speeding. Morernthan 69% of speeders in city were driving by more than 10kmph above speed limit. The extent ofrnspeeding of those divers engaged in speed violation decreases as the posted speed limit increases.rnFurtherly, this study confirmed that the significant growth of traffic crashes in the city annually.rnThe major causes of traffic crashes revealed in this study are following too closely (25.6%),rnfailure to give-way for other vehicle (21.3%) & pedestrians (10.1%), improper overtaking (8.7%)rnand improper parking and moving from (8.2%), over speeding (7.6%) etc. The other finding ofrnthis study is the investigation of a hotspot location. The hotspot location of fatal traffic crashesrnidentified is Megenagna intersection, Sebetegna, Asra Simint to Atena Tera and Zenebeworkrnalong the ring road, and Ayer Tena along Jimma road where high vehicular and pedestrianrnmovement and excessive speeding were expected. Finally, the hotspot location of injury trafficrncrashes identified in the study was Mexico to Leghar to Stadium,to Urael along LRT route, Auto bis Tera to Atekilt Tera route, Ayer Tena to Miachel Adebabai to German Adebabai to HailernGarment route.
