I have no issue with the bumps as long as they are visible from far. Why is it taking them so long to mark that road?

That highway should be fenced on both sides with 4 metre high concrete slabs to prevent the neanderthals from crossing it at any point they so wish.
In the upper world all superhighways are fenced with concrete slabs.

Have you seen them at KU? There is a crossing bridge constructed just a few metres away but none of them use it.

Even with the bumps, people are trying their best not to cross next to the bumps. You slow down because of the bumps only to find fellows 10, 20, 30 metres away trying to be Rudisha!!!

But I have to give it to drivers on Jogoo road. The pedestrians on that road must be high 24/7.

You are driving down Jogoo road and a pedestrian "uses common sense" and decides not to compete with the vehicles. He decides not to cross and stands nicely on the side of the road. A few seconds later, just when you are about to reach him, he decides he should have crossed after all - you are taking too long! He pulls one hell of a rudisha just a few metres from you - maybe less - and you have to pull off all your driving skills to postpone his trip to meet his maker! A short while later, the episode is repeated again - Especially between City Stadium and Uhuru market/Uchumi area. Evenings are the worst!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Woe unto you if your driving antiques fail. You will be branded a Killer by the journalists ..... Very very sad indeed. I even find people who walk or ride with their back to traffic. Who the hell is supposed to take care of you? Your safety is your responsibility first then everyones'!!!!

highways should not have bumps or zebra crossing at all that's why it's a highway. Let pedestrians be arrested and fined for crossing on the highway.

whoever designed this road and approved it in the ministry of roads is usrely an idiotic engineer...ama it was a chinese engineer?
there is no acceleration lane on the highway as you leave the service lanes...so you can imagine somewhere like this place immediately after Roysambu where you are busy joining the highway towards Thika and a 30 ton truck is doing 120km/h is descending from the high point of the overpass...Sad Sad
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
