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.

You are safe doing 70-80 kph...if temptation to go higher arises, weka governor... ION, which is the most straight tarmacked strecth one can flat out in Kenya...?

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!
