Anywhere across the country, the speed limit is 110KPH. I thought all drivers know that. Ukifanya more than that, don't blame the cops when 'arrested'. They are simply enforcing the law. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Otherwise on the outer lane,for service trucks n buses, the limits are 80kmh n on some sections,50kmh.
The "super" prefix to the highway is a fabrication of the media n some in the roads ministry. It's just a highway for there are super highways/motorways.
Thika highway it is. Agreed. The first highway I've seen anywhere in the world with BUMPS! Reason:coz some of us dont like using our brains lords of impunity,changing lanes hapharzadly its like u are particpating in an F1 race,not using foot bridges,others sell the wares by the road side endangering thea lives in the process we lack any form of morality and deceny,we have to be policed like kindergaten kids...aargh shida za kujitakia tu possunt quia posse videntur

Haiya, you may get threatened with being arrested for driving your plombox alone, coz it has the capacity of carrying six kenyans but you are only carrying one person instead - yourselufu. Was once stopped at Mbaruk, Nakuru and told I was speeding at 125KPH; being aware of these favorite speed gun points I had made sure that I was within a speed range of 80kph +/- 10kph (speed limit here is 100kph). But the idiots could hear non of it. "Kwani ulikuwa unaendesha gari ama ulikuwa unaangalia speedometer???" Next, toa 5000/= tukuandikie Cash Bail.  "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful.

Was once arrested in Nakuru for doing 62kph in a 50kph zone hapo Midlands Hotel while driving from Nairobi to Eldoret. It was a sato and was given a choice of either paying 3000 bob cash bail to appear in court the following monday or to kutoa kitu kidogo of 1k. Kama ni wewe ungefanya aje?

They are simply enforcing the law. @Jus Blazin, On Thika highway on the inner most lanes, what is the minimum speed limit? Is it 80kph or 100kph. I was discussing with someone,i said it's 100kph,he said its 80kph,which is which? Coz if its 80kph,then what's trucks' speed limit? Less than 80kph? I've always thought it to be 80kph.
