I don’t understand what’s to be repaired there. It’s technically just fixing the rough potholed small stretch thus joining the two acceleration lanes which lead to nowhere. This just gives a smooth ride to overlapers from the first acceleration lane to the other.

Waliweka some concrete things to guide traffic back to the right lane, ubaya hazina reflective paint, zitagongwa usiku

Its nothing but reckless driving for non frequent Mombasa road users.
If you are not familiar with a section of the road why the fvck are you over speeding?

Cars roll at 80 kmph

Good question. I like your thinking.

[SIZE=4]UPDATE & CLARIFICATION - 25th May, 2017[/SIZE]
KeNHA would like to make a clarification and update with regard to the widely circulated accident clip along Mombasa Road on Social Media. The place in question is not on the carriageway but is on the verge at the end of deceleration lane to a closed U-turn.

Signage showing clearly that the U-turn is closed is in place. Overlapping Drivers are the culprits to these kind of accidents especially if they are at high speeds. They are not able to maneuver back into the carriage way safely. They either roll off or cause accidents as the get back into the carriage. This is illegal under the Traffic Act. We want state that there is no pothole at that place and the entire Mombasa Road from JKIA to the City.

Motorists are asked to observe traffic rules and also take due care while on the road. Arising from the accidents that happened on Saturday morning, we intend to physically close off the retardant acceleration and deceleration lanes through a raised kerb line. This will deter the overlapping menace that is common in such areas. These measures are already under implementation by the Authority.

I see KeNHA knows K-Talk. They read my thread and analysed it.

Its s stupid response if you ask me…they should just do their work and accept part of the blame!

@magreb

Pardon me good lady but your explanation is flawed. First, why have an acceleration lane then a u- turn. Most probably you meant a deceleration lane. Secondly, there is no way the ninja was overlapping on an open road. The road just ain’t marked, period.
Thirdly, there are no signs indicating the closures. How would one know? In brief, are you apologising for the authorities?

My question would be, why would one be driving that fast on a deceleration lane? and given that the turning is no longer in use (over a year plus if i am not wrong), road signs or lack of therein, i would assume that it is like driving off the road at heart rending speed, as a driver that would now be solely your responsibility if some mishap was to occur…

@kermit

the explanation is simple. lack of common sense. from road users and Kenha in equal measure

you can’t blame road users for a flawed road design.
