The newly introduced speed limits in Nairobi is likely to see a number of motorists get into trouble with law enforcers who place speed guns in hiding to catch unknowing drivers.

If you are a motorist in Kenya, then better pay proper attention to this article otherwise you might be forced to appear in court and pay a fine for speeding.

Sadly yet, being Kenya where a majority of our traffic cops thrive in the ‘Kitu Kidogo’ narrative, you might find yourself in an awkward situation trying to convince a heavily potbellied corrupt traffic cop that he amount s/he is demanding from you is a bit too much.

Well, a majority of our traffic cops have made it impossible for the rest of us Kenyans to keep our hands free from corruption with their exploitive demands of the ‘kitu kidogo’ which is always accompanied by threats.

It is crucial to keep yourself in the know of what the rule and regulations are in the Kenyan road which is why we have attached the list of the newly introduced speed rule within Nairobi.

Below is a list of places one is required to drive in a maximum speed of 50 KM/H;

  1. Waiyaki Way-50km/h rule starts from Junction of James Gichuru road to town and back
  2. Langata Road- 50km/h rule starts from the KWS Headquarters or the Nairobi National park main gate to town and back to the same place.
  3. Ngong Road- 50km/h rule starts from the Nakumatt Junction main entrance town and back
  4. Jogoo Road- 50km/h rule starts from the Buru Buru turn-off to town and back to the same place.
  5. Mombasa Road- 50km/h rule starts from the City Cabanas Flyover to town and back to the same place.
  6. Limuru Road- 50km/h rule starts from the Muthaiga mini market roundabout to town and back to the same place.
  7. Thika Road-50km/h rule starts from the Utalii Drift to town and back
  8. Kiambu Road- rule starts at Ridgeways
  9. Kangundo road-Ruai Trading Centre
  10. Northern Bypass-Nyayo Barracks Roundabout

Motorists driving outside the city should note that special speed guns have been placed on different areas to get those driving beyond the speed limit (100km/h) and the traffic police and the NTSA have come up with roadside courts where offenders are being fined on the spot. Keep alert to avoid having to part with hefty fines.
