ERA advances pilot road safety star rating assessment with iRAP

The Ethiopian Roads Administration (ERA) has launched a pilot road safety assessment project in collaboration with the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). This partnership serves as a critical phase in the development of a national road safety initiative, officially referred to as EthiopiaRAP. The program aims to utilize star ratings to evaluate and improve road safety standards across the country's transportation network. This assessment is expected to provide data-driven insights to reduce road accidents and enhance infrastructure security. Experts are currently overseeing the implementation of this pilot phase to ensure alignment with international safety standards.
