Tried that once...but I misjudged the speed of a lorry approaching. almost got hit... Lorry swerved away sharply. Nowadays I go all the way to the South B entrance of capital center. It is far, but safer to do so!

Mombasa road is fullof death traps. Getting out of Panari Sky Centre and back to town is another danger spot. With cars zooming past at speeds of more than 130kph, there always is not enough road to switch three lanes to the decelerating lane. The worst time to drive on this road is at night, on weekends and during the long holidays like Easter and Christmas when there is lean traffic.

In more positive news, I noted that since the bush which was covering the "Sharp Bend" sign at the Sunshine Sec. School/Wilson deathspot on Langata road was cleared, there hasn't been a single accident.

Another death trap lies at the end of the LAngata road dual just before the entrance to the KWS HQ. There's always confusion on which lane yields to the other and if it happens that there are two mad people on the spot simultaneously, woe unto you if you're approching from the Karen side.

Actually the footbridge entering Nakuru town is utilised....

Have worked and lived on mombasa road for quite a while now and have seen all manner of fatal accidents .words fail me to describe the accidents but one thing i know for sure is that its no gonna end soon.Have had my own 'close shaves' on that road. and the capital center /bellevue points are real death zones.A family of 3 perished at the bellevue crossing point late last year, after being crashed by a speeding motorist.On a very rainy night, actually, past midnight, in 2009, there was a grisly accident at sameer.A look at the wreckage would tell you no one survived, and it was raining very heavily. with no one to come to the rescue cuz of the bad weather and it was about 1.00am, no cops, those guys must have died a very painful death.I see these accidents alot of the time and more so on the Friday nights, saturday/sunday mornings.
