[kictanet] RESPONSES FROM ENGINEER KIDENDA ON THE STATE OF KENYAN ROADS

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

Dear listers,

I feel I have very little sensible to contribute to this, mostly, I think,
because my brain froze at the overall claim that quality management etc is
well and dandy in our road management. It's a notion that conflicts not
just with my knowledge of square metres of road just being washed away in
my wider neighbourhood (Westlands roundabout, James Gichuru Road, Rhapta
Road, Thigiri Ridge Road), I try not to go anywhere else anymore because it
involves, umm, traffic.

So this is merely for your amusement. I've just been to my shags. Attached
a picture of what was a little bit of a traffic jam just outside of Hamburg
on the Autobahn. As you can see, those Germans are very inefficient with
their traffic jams. They leave way too much space. I very nearly urged my
mum to shove the car into the middle bit between the two lanes and go for
it.

Have a wonderful evening! :)

Andrea
