Mombasa Road hazard

http://www.ntv.co.ke
The newly re-carpeted Mombasa Road is emerging the greatest danger for pedestrians in Nairobi. In a tragic incident last night, a woman and her two children were killed while crossing the smooth road teeming with fast-moving traffic. As NTVs Ray Polo reports, the nearly 20-km stretch has only one foot-bridge making life for pedestrians on both sides of the highway, a daily risk.

well all they need is traffic light so the vehicle will have to stop for the pedestrians thats all.. just like in America that will eliminate the posibility of faulks being hit by speeding vehicles

pedestrian traffic light plus zebra crossing marks can be an easy start to control the risk of available hazard to low level as its cost effective. One traffic police on stand by after every pedestrian crossing line is required too. As road neads highsafety concern. only press button to bring the red light to the coming tracks to people can cross safely at there on time mostly children bellow age/lower primary whom dont have parent escort to nor from school.

@gabbyolivia79 That will defeat the whole purpose of a HIGHWAY.

Indian and African driver are same, No matter what they will never learn because there are all same. They want driver to form bad habit than earn money for minister.. They got there independent. So they can do what they like.

Traffic lights are ignored in Kenya so thats not an option, If the ba$tards in Gov didnt pocket all the money they could build bridges all over but it wont happen.

GOOD IDEA!! In many countries it is an offence to cross the road at non-pedestrian crossings, i.e. J-walking. Do it in Mbabane Swaziland, and the fine is papo, hapo not negotation!

Make lights and stop sighns for pedestians.why build a bridge? Make the cars fukin stop and let people cross.KENYA does not care about the poor on foot.Build roads but make it easy for us to cross.Wawesh &nonini u dont have common sense your self.kwani gari haziwezi kanyaga brake watu wavuke bara bara.Hypocrates in the high offices.Thats was up.
