Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

This cant happen in real life. That looks more like a gimmick.

I have taken a keen look an ants entering their abode and that's the way they do it and drivers cannot match it!

I just love the discipline, no chaos at all.
1.The recording is in fastfoward,therefore thats not the actual speed of the vehicles or pedestrians.
2.No traffic police or kanjuu, no trafffic lights, no r/about and no gridlock.
3.No plomboxes, bodabodas or handcarts.
All said and done,all thats needed is respect to other road users and not even the cctvs are needed to control the traffic flow.
Try that here #ke before vision2030.

Actual speed has been raised about three times the actual to give an impression that the vehicles ants and human traffic have a very high precision timingsmile

I can't imagine the scenario if that roundabout at the junction of uhuru highway/kenyatta avenue was to be gotten rid of.

It might work, lakini I do not see kenyan, especially Nairobi drivers giving each other way.

I used to walk across Meskel square for nearly three months. The vehicle population is much lighter than Nyayo stadium and any part of Uhuru Highway. It was constructed by the Haile Mariam regime when was called Revolution square and it was meant for military parades. It is quite a spectacle when Ethiopians are exercising there in the morning or during the Meskel celebrations. As they say, to live is to change and to live well is to change often.
