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 think that law if pretty clear on that. without the signs one can't be restricted on speed. Yet that is what they are doing, mimi nimejaribu hio 50kph on Thika Rd, Mbagathi Way, LA Rd, Waiyaki Rd na nimeshindwa!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

As i said before, 50kph on a highway is not possible , it is meant for built up areas e.g cbd or close to it , and yes they are supposed to put up signs like it has been done on Thika road.

I guess 50km rule was in the 70s. Am.Am yet to get any modern car that can maintain that speed even while being pushed.If i may ask have the police themselves tried that speed with their modern vehicles.Until someone starts reasoning one day and not rush to punish citizens simply because its a rule and get bribes/fines we are doomed.Individual consciousness should apply even to the cops.

Additionally , the speed cameras and not guns should be automated , what proof does the guy flagging you down at safaricom house have that you were speeding? What proof other than the guy holding the speed gun do they have , let them use technology and automate the process.

When at it, be warned. Today they are there in their tens...there is a van parked just before the Agric Institute/Nairobi School near the James Gichuru Junction, that is where the spped gun is...kushikwa ni hapo after Safcom.

Walikuwa Valley leo, I bet it's just a matter of time before they arrest, just no way to maintain a crawling speed og 50kph when the road is clear. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
