Is it true that if you have land in Kajiado, you must create a 9m road? The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

Do yo mean if you have land in Kajiado which you intend to subdivide? Any land in Kenya intended for subdivision is fisrst studied by the County planner who determines the width of the roads. If near a busy highway, he/she might ask for it to be 20,25 or 30m wide. If on a small feeder road, it can be 9, 12 or 15 m wide. Lands subdivided previously when there were no planners in govt offices resulted into the 5m wide roads currently seen in rongai and ngong areas. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

Currently in Rongai its 9metres thought most of the old access roads are like 5metres! Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Bwana Architect Please tell me, when I check google maps for some areas in ngong and matasia I see very good road network through the plots but on the ground the roads end abrupt and taken over by plots,like one just opposite my plot and the guy got a title but on google the road just passes thro his plot. Who is right, the plot owner or google? Thanks

Thank you all. So the 9 metre road is a reality? Those buying in Kajiado better beware. I see a huge issue brewing especially where the indegenous community are told they've to create 9 metre roads on their farms for newcomers. The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

Roads should be at least 3m wide each lane and a 1.5m reserve on each side for services and pedestrians. Total road area width should therefore be at least 9m. Thus a 5m wide road can only be a one way street.

@ngong. Google maps is open source, so anyone can edit the roads on it. It sometimes contains errors when people edit the roads wrongly. Planners have the right to modify personal plots which fall bang in the middle of major roads to enable the roads to join together. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

Don't rely too much on Google Maps. The maps have errors that have even resulted in international border disputes. If in doubt buy an official map from department of Land Adjudication and Settlement, Survey of Kenya http://articles.cnn.com/...-google-earth?_s=PM:TECH"..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

anyone can log in using gmail and edit a google map. All it requires is for several people to collaborate your input then google publishes it hence alot of errors. Google maps need to create a conspicuous button for map readers who cant be able to edit the maps to report errors. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

Totally unrelated: our architect has a totally wrong definition of 'open source'
