Mmeshaambiwa msizurure ovyo, you'll spread covid kama Americans.
Remember the Chinese spread covid also during their new year...

Mbona code ya barabara ni A109?
Kenyan Roads classification system is a simple leftover colonial classification classification system. Roads classified simply as A, B, C, D, E and F. Although I have never seen as any road or street classified as F. A roads usually followed by 3 numerical numbers are roads joining a border point to the capital e.g. A104 (from Nairobi to Malaba and A109 from Nairobi to Namanga) B roads join provinces eg from Nairobi to Magadi, C inter-districts e.g. Langata Road and Ngong Road, D inter-location e.g Outer Ring Road and James Gichuru Road, E inter-locations e.g Lenana Road.

Last numeral odd, road heads south, Last numeral even, road heads north). A road can find itself classified as A, B and C at the same time. eg. Uhuru Highway and Thika Highway. I don't know if anyone reviews or is in charge of this classifications any more. A,B,C roads are supposed to be maintained by the national government and C, D, E and F by the Provincial (county government unless such roads as part of A, B, C as stated above). E road can be as nice Lenana Road in Nairobi at the same time as bad as cattle trail in Kitui.

Why are Africans surprised that wamekwama kwa traffic? What is so technical about keeping left? That is the first thing I learnt in driving school way back in the 80's about the highway code na sijawahi sahau.
I used to ask the same question but all it takes is one vehicle stalling on the road or an accident. Most likely mtu aliguzwa nyuma and they are parked in the middle of the road waiting for I don't know what.

The only thing that will bring sanity to our roads is instant fines and points system, where the points are deducted from your license for every offence and total cancellation of the license for a person who depletes their points.

Na bado, next 2 weeks will be worse. Kesho watu watakwama hio highway esp. from Nakuru to Nbi
itabidi mtu atoke before 7 a.m. to be on the safe side, juu afternoon everybody is on the road, kila mtu husema within 2hrs lazma awe amefika nairobi.
