Dennis, Two Level of Issues 1. The road design itself - slip roads, interchanges (with blind spots), road signs, road markings etc etc 2. The need to follow road rules is another (this is a perennial problem, and with Thika road it is ever more urgent!). My main concern is with No 1.

You will be confused as to what lane you are actually , vehicles drive in all directions, and take U turns as they please. To start tackling the issue, the simplest of road rules must apply. Without that, what will we be solving? I bet the contractors soon realised that road signs were not that effective, hence their placement with abandon.

The problem with Thika road is simple: 1. No one wants to drive at 30 Kph 2. Everyone wants to use the shortest path to their destination All other complaints revolve around the inconveniences caused by the above -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com<http://www.denniskioko.com/>
