Bid to Avert Festive Season Carnage On Roads

Motorists and other road users have been urged to take extra care during the festive season.
According to the National Road Safety Council, most accidents occur during this period as it involves a lot of travel and alcohol intake.

The Traffic Police Department has also advised Kenyans to stay at home, if possible. It calls on drivers, pedestrians and passengers to strictly observe traffic rules.

The police website lists 78 points on Kenya's roads considered blackspots.

Traffic enforcement records show rampant indiscipline and non-compliance with traffic rules by drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and passengers.
