Kulipa Ushuru ni kujitegemea!!!
Your HR is very informed, staff. Now is it really possible to drive above 50km/h in the CBD?
Attempted suicide? Will the cameras have face recognition? It is within the whole of NBI not CBD only. And these are speed guns not cameras. You are stopped hapo hapo. if those bright flashes are speed guns why are they placed at very odd locations, after traffic lights or just at the exit of a round about - I always thought they are cameras that capture the guys who jump red lights, got me worried on several occasions, I thought I would see my picture in the dailies on the list of traffic lights offenders
You got it all wrong. I am not talking about those mounted traffic ligts/cameras etc. The cops are using hand held devices called speed guns. They point the device at your car and record the speed. If over the limit they sms your Registration to colleagues manning a road block 2km ahead. Thats where you are stopped and charged. Capisce?

For instance on Waiyaki way, Nairobi starts at that flyover in Kangemi where a board states 'Wellcome to Nairobi City'. From that point on you should drive at 50 max. If not, those cops will be waiting for you at around Nairobi School.

Has to be Salgaa. 12kms of straight tarmac from mai mahiu to narok then from narok to whichever there are some very enticing roads. From Narok to Mulot. Best road built in Kenya. Completed in 2002 and still smooth all the way!

Many thanks for the heads up..
I live past Waiyaki Way and have noticed this on Monday and today. Was lucky not to have been busted; today I'm sure I was doing above 50kph.
Regards.

Really? I thought on the superhighway the speeds are indicated on all sections? 50; 80; 100 depending on the section.

why? Because the law REQUIRES THEM TO.. This is what the act says... ( 3) No person shall drive, or, being the owner or person in charge of a vehicle, cause or permit any other person to drive, any vehicle at a speed exceeding fifty kilometres per hour on any road within the boundaries of any trading centre, township, municipality or city: Provided that the highway authority shall erect and maintain traffic signs as prescribed so as plainly to indicate to drivers entering or leaving such roads or areas where the fifty kilometre per hour speed limit restriction begins and ends. I'm pretty sure no one has ever been taken to court over this.. The cops take advantage of our ignorance and just pile on the bribes.. Where is the sign that says 50kph on Waiyaki way

True superhighways have a lower speed limit eg do not go below 100kph Life is short. Live passionately.

Where is the sign that says 50kph on Waiyaki way think that law if pretty clear on that. without the signs one can't be restricted on speed.
