Actually the work of erecting road signs and markings lies squaly on those managing roads eg KURA etc But NTSA being an enforcer of the law should make sure that these road authorities do their jobs

why?



Because the law REQUIRES THEM TO.. This is what the act says...
(
3) No person shall drive, or, being the owner or person in charge of a vehicle, cause or permit any other person to drive, any vehicle at
a speed exceeding fifty kilometres per hour on any road within the boundaries of any trading centre, township, municipality or city: Provided that the highway authority shall erect and maintain traffic signs as prescribed so as plainly to indicate to drivers entering or leaving such roads or areas where the fifty kilometre per hour speed limit restriction begins and ends.


I'm pretty sure no one has ever been taken to court over this.. The cops take advantage of our ignorance and just pile on the bribes.. Where is the sign that says 50kph on Waiyaki way


think that law if pretty clear on that. without the signs one can't be restricted on speed.


Yet that is what they are doing, mimi nimejaribu hio 50kph on Thika Rd, Mbagathi Way, LA Rd, Waiyaki Rd na nimeshindwa!!!


I agree with you 50kph is not achievable. On Sunday I tried that from Kangemi but I could not manage. I noted many drivers were trying it too. It's unreasonable and unattainable. One can even fall asleep!

The NTSA and KURA etc should work together to ensure that the road signs are there in the first place before they start nabbing guys...

this applies to any trading centre, township, municipality or city - doesn't that cover a good chunk of the motarable roads in the country.

from nairobi to nakuru, once you leave the boundaries of nairobi city you enter into kiambu municipality, go into naivasha trading center and then move into nakuru township.

If these cops are using radar speed guns then there is tech that eliminates the dopler effect that these guns use to calculate the speed of an object, i have seen this device in kiash land, it consists of an antennae mounted within the grill of the car and a control unit, it works by absorbing the radar signal sent by the speed gun resulting in a zero reading from the gun. this is illegal in kiash land and guys have served serious time for this(crafty Kenyans take note).
In the alternate, the relevant authorities should set up automated speed cams so that people can invest in tom toms that warn you early to slow down if you are approaching an area where there is a speed camera

I think it has now become criminal to own a car in this country.

This is where our lawyers should be helping out through LSK, for the sake of the general society good. By the way they are not targeting PSVs...why?

The characters are along waiyaki way. At the shell petrol station past Kangemi on your way towards Uthiru na korti ni papo hapo. This government must be broke!
