Speed bumps on Kenya roads

[system]

@Gio

I think Kiambu holds the record for the most number of bumps per km in Kenya.

The Kiambu bumps were erected to safeguard illicit brew fanatics.Atleast nowadays most live to see another day after a drinking spree unlike before when they used to be hit by vehicle while crossing the roads

How many times did you see a sign proudly proclaiming ‘Koinange Street’ hanging from windows and balconies in main? Countless times in my time, kwanza one very notorious fellow in Hall 4 at the time. Mpaka nikashindwa do guys ‘collect’ them as some sort of trophies? Yet by virtue of their education university students should know better.

In the past we’ve had metallic road furniture getting vandalized and sold off to scrap metal dealers. I’m told there’s a prominent dealer somewhere in Athi River area who’s suspected to be complicit.

Hehe uni has some mad mad people lakini saw some even pinned on doors, and Hall 4 was a ladies hostel by the time. They now make the posts from recycled plastic only the signage is sheet aluminum

Standard knowledge most drivers ignore is if you are driving around an area you are not familiar with, you should not exceed certain speeds. 80 - 100kph on the higher side, but 80 is on the safe side. mtu unaenda place for the first time but you are driving kama Hamilton. Si ukikutana na matuta utajipata kwa ditch ama nyuma ya gari next…

Best speed to max is just 80, whether you are on a new road or not. At 80, you have full control, whether a kid or sheep dashes across the road, or you hit a hole filled with water and your tyre goes pffffffffffff! Guys zoom past me doing sijui 140, while I trot at my 70-80, but at the next stop, huwa nawapata na no more than 10 minutes. Speeding is just bad, unless you are on Need for Speed, Hot Pursuit and the cops are on your ass.
