Commercial passenger vehicles with a capacity of more than seven passengers have been temporarily barred from using the road, according to a statement issued by Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia. The directive will be on a temporary basis awaiting proper measures – some of which the operator has already effected.
"Since the Nairobi Expressway was opened to the public, a number of traffic accidents and incidents involving commercial passenger vehicles have occurred on the expressway. These have necessitated an investigation into the cause of these accidents and incidents so that appropriate safety interventions can be developed to ensure that commercial passenger vehicles use the expressway safely. "The Ministry of Transport has, therefore, taken the decision to temporarily restrict commercial passenger vehicles with a capacity of more than seven (7) passengers from using the Nairobi Expressway, as we investigate the cause of these accidents and develop appropriate safety measures," read the statement in part.
Furthermore, the government revealed that they were introducing traffic cops at various points to enforce various government regulations such as overspeeding.
