KENYA'S DEADLY ROADS | Salgaa black spot | The wall that reduced accidents and killings | Nakuru

#nakuru #Salgaa #engineering
Salgaa has perhaps been the most notorious black spot in the country if the number of road accidents that have happened along the road is anything to go by.
The accidents have robbed dozens of families of their loved ones and left tens of others with injuries. but the move to dual the stretch separating traffic with a movable barrier had been bearing fruit.

Thank you so much. Much appreciated. Your support is highly valued and appreciated
I am glad it got fixed… 90% of most accidents in this country would be prevented by measures like this. That place had claimed many lives. Good reporting.
This is better than mainstream media! A job well done enock!
For the love of informative documentaries, Enock Sikolia is taking this to another level. Keep it up Man. My notifications are always on waiting to get educated on Kenyan affairs all the way from politics and other domestic affairs. 😎🤝
Congrats Enock you are true Kenyan historian keep up
One of the Best..... Keep it up Enock
This has always always been my route a lot of times...the idea of the barrier has been a saviour...a job well done on the documentary.

very impresive documentaries and happy for Kenyan Engineers
Amazing video coverage.. Wonderful narration this is my hood and this is epic thenx enoc👏👏
That 2017 12th December accident was the climax of all the accidents there.
I stumbled on the Outer-ring road documentary today morning...didn't have time to go down the rabbit hole cos I was watching while preparing to start my day...I haven't even watched this yet but I know it will be good, and I have a feeling I'll be on this channel for the rest of the night now that I've started watching again...Brilliant work. You definitely need more subscribers...and if you ever need a sound guy/music ✋🏾✋🏾✋🏾

Wow..what an inspiring story..frm a professional reporter,professional presentation,bro..nakutolea kofia🥳💪👌 I love your vlogs🎉❤ Dubai
I believe that the road was also made a dual carriageway in addition to the wall being built. Previously, it only had a climbing lane, and of course no wall.

Impressive good work enock
This indicates we need a national dual carriage network for our major national trunk roads. Traffic separation reduces accidents.
Great concept that was. I only have an issue with the runaway ramps. How do you put Kokoto on the runaways ramp? Sand (That is often dug to sotfen it) would have been ideal. But again, people would be stealing those sand.
this stretch feels dangerous even with these improvement. but kudos especially on the bumps which helped tame truck drivers along the decent
Napenda ukiisema kwa kiswahili tukikuona yaani authenticity si ukisema kwa kizungu
May those who lost their Lives in 2009 Continue resting in peace 😢❤ A good documentation.
I love your documentary keep going dude
Excellent coverage
That we have to go to such lengths to tame rogue drivers shows the problem on Kenyan roads, and what actually really needs to be addressed to enhance safety on our roads.
you are the BEST
Good job Enock👏..I like it

Is it the wall or the dual carriageway that reduced the accidents? Confused to be honest.
Sad state.. wish you did some CC
I can't say how many times I passed through that road even b4 the barrier 🚧 my neighbour her two children and a maid lost their lives there in 2009 am happy that it's now safe
Enock Please work on your Thumbnails.....your videos deserve the Best...... Good Work
is it selling tea leaves or danger of roads?
Good 😊

Dualling all our major highways is the only way to stop thecarnage on our roads.
Those runaway ramps are just a hopeless case. Too short can't stop a fully loaded semi.
Visit londiani next.

Enock... a great reporter. @citizen Tv 📺 lost a gem 💎
Nobody is appreciating MATIANG'I for this 😔😅

That those barriers costed the tax payers money 500M is questionable.
I could recommend the kenya government to consider American 🇺🇲 to build all highways in kenya for my experience they're really good. trust the process 🙏
one stretch of road i fear most
Does Enock knows how the thougth of the erected blocks came to be? Search more sir. There"s more

Go do your research well. Its not just the wall. They build a second road adjacent to the existing one for that 21 km stretch in order to separate the traffic along the entire escapement on that side of the rift valley.

I don't know how effective those ramps are but they look pretty unsafe to me. Very little space for it to safely stop or atleast slow down a vehicle bearing in mind that they're driving downhill. How does a truck stop in time when it lost its brakes? It simply rolls over, shame on you KENHA
@KenyanHistorian

Ramps do not stop vehicles, Maxwell... They indirectly force drivers to slow down. No driver would love to hit ramps or bumps... So when you see a signage for ramps or a bump, you will automatically slow down... and those used to the stretch, of course, understand there are ramps, so they slow down.... So just know ramps do stop vehicles... They make drivers feel uncomfortable and so next ones utaslow

@@KenyanHistorian I mean the ramps that are designated for trucks or rather vehicles that have lost control, that's the whole point of ramps on blackspots. Incase of anything you drive off the road and they're usually fitted in a way it helps you break, those at Salgaa are a joke

kzread.infoMCJ6xxqDvvQ?si=ApamgguaaMNprRxb That's exactly how it should be, see how much incline you need to stop a truck that is coming downhill at speed. Now compare with those at Salgaa. They're what 50 metres stretch? Once again shame on KENHA
