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

Ғылым және технология

#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.

    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

    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
