[LIST] Gov’t Announces Blackspots In Nairobi, 20 Other Counties

As part of its efforts to decrease road carnage during the holiday season, the Ministry of Interior has identified many blackspots on important routes throughout the country.

A blackspot is a stretch of road where a high number of accidents involving fatalities or serious injuries have occurred in the past.

Nairobi’s blackspots included the Kasarani-GSU Stretch, Westlands to Kabete Road, and Mombasa Road between Airtel Headquarters and Cabanas.

Other blackspots in Nairobi include Jogoo Road near Maziwa Stage Footbridge, Waiyaki Way near Kangemi Fly-Over, Thika Road at Kenyatta University, and Ruai Bypass.

Langata Road near Carnivore Junction, Eastern Bypass near Transami Footbridge, and the footbridge at General Motors (GM) were all identified as accident-prone roads.

We have identified several 'black spots' with a high incidence of road accidents across our regions.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution when driving through these roads to ensure their safety and that of others.

Stay safe, stay vigilant everywhere. #FestiveSecurityKE
