Swapping traffic for a workout in the streets

What would your city look like without cars? In Ethiopia the last Sunday of every month is car-free. The first Car Free Day was held in Ethiopia in December 2018 to promote healthy living, and to reduce pollution on roads usually clogged with traffic. It is now so popular that up to 20 Ethiopian cities take part and there are calls for a weekly car-free day in the capital.

Beza Tadesse has joined in from the start. "If I exercise with my husband and children, it will become a habit," she says.
