I disagree with demolition of beautiful buildings to make way for "future" roads. Make the owners pay a fine then use the money to improve the road, instead of SPENDING money to make way. You can simply wind the road to avoid the expensive but pretty buildings. KENYANS: LEARN HOW TO MAKE MONEY!!
A good project is 30% planning and the rest is execution. It looks like the govenment and contractors building Thika road did not plan on how to keep the traffic moving and the business going. access roads are the first one to be constructed with asphalt and if they are murram roads, then then need to be watered periodically. They also need a good drainage for when it rains. That way they control the dust and and these adjacent road may later be used as access roads.
if this works, road accidents on that stretch of road should decline dramatically. Anywhere people drive at over 50kph should be a dual carriage at minimum because some of those little roads are a danger to drive on when you are sober.
@daniells71 . 50kph? are you kidding me!? That is "school zone" speed in USA. (yaani in areas with schools you slow down to avoid hitting stupid kids). You have the right idea though, but i suggest EVERY road should be dual carriage with a concrete median or a 10meter median to separate the lanes.
@midiafreemega Well, where i live thats how it is and accidents with the exception of your minor bumper to bumper kiss, almost never happen. And yes they are 30mph roads.
I really DO understand the difference. I also understand why people in Kenya have to drive slowly- poor roads. IN USA someone will people drive even upto 100 mph (about 150km/hr)!! Why, coz the roads are good. Im not encouraging speeding, but getting to where you need to go does reduce time waste. Remember: Time=Money. How much time do you waste in Kenya sitting in traffic?
@midiafreemega And where exactly are you going at 100mph? You will be lucky to do over 75 without getting bursted by a karau. That kind of driving is not for people making money, it's for those with a death wish. The only major difference with US and KE is city planning. There is little to none in KE, and that is why you see all kinds of biashara and pedestrians operating next to a major road. But relatively, tunajaribu.
If this it will work then i bet Kenya should campaign for the next African cup of Nation host. Good luck to all those involved we hope it will not be grounded like the many we have seen before.
nothing good come easy, it's called Opportunity Cost! You must forego your little comfort for now for a better future
