enyewe..surely ka si bangi i dont know what this is!!!i bet you'd see many such crazy people if u stood there just for an hour.Think abot it...what the oddsfor such a pic if people were actually sane!

The roads are clearly marked..not potholes to blame on this time...and he plays with the lives of hundreds(if u put into consideration the lives that would be messed coz of loss of a breadwinner)

This guys should be reported.Its time we did something!!we need to see someone in jail!.someone must face the music!!

Why do people even come to the defence of these fools. Get rid of mats F**k "they are the uniqueness of Nairobi". I should only use them when am going to shagz, if at all. Embrace change, it is only better.

That's why we need BRT lines on outer ring road and from outer ring a BRT Corridor on Juja road to ring road Ngara, From Outer ring a BRT corridor on Jogoo road to Lusaka and Landhies roads and from Outer ring to a BRT corridor on Lunga Lunga to Lusaka. All matatus from Kenyatta University and the greater Thika area exit off Thika road to the eastern Bypass and terminate at the BRT corridor on Outer ring road. Therefore from the Thika road intersection with the eastern Bypass, no matatus are to use the express way.

The confusion on Limuru road overpass was finally settled and it looks much better. From university way to moi avenue does someone have to navigate the whole of globe roundabout? That makes the distance twice as long.

I have used Thika road at night several time recently and the most dagerous part in my opinion is this, there is nothing to show you that there is a slight deviation on the lane or even show the location of the raised section, sometimes you realise too late!

I might be too picky but where did all this dirt/sand/soil come from on a newly constructed road? It's a good indicator of how the road will look like in just a few months. Terrible.

Either from Mounds of dirt from the sides of the road from yet to be completed sections or from untarmacked feeder roads.

These photos show why we need to implement punitive traffic rules for both motorists and pedestrians! It's just sickening to see such disregard for the rule of law and for one's own safety. In a highway vehicles do not stop to give way....else it leads to very bad accidents,,,I think civic education should be a major strategy for the government moving forward. Btw, the are superb pic!!

Civic education haitoshi, Civic education + law enforcement including punishment will make things work out for pedestrians as well as motorists!!

[Adm.Adama]

Landscaping will begin once the road is finished and the What is up with the inside of the footbridge looks like someone has been chewing on it lol mmm but its exterior looks very beautifully might attract many Kenyans there(foot patrols on all foot bridges should be normal by police to reduce thievery and cctv to catch criminals easier)
