With all due respect to the developers/promoters of this, I do not get it.<div><br></div><div>1 - overlapping - We all know where motorists tend to overlap (Waiyaki Way from Lion place all the way to Old Safaricom house, Lower Kabete Road near Sarit Centre, the deceleration lane after brookside drive, etc) - that remains constant given the fixed nature of roads. How does this help?</div>
<div>2 - Speeding - this is a variable in the sense that it has nothing to do with location rather the driver and the time of day and traffic conditions. It may happen along the 200 stretch of road outside the Mall/Bus stage - or it may happen between kangemi and ABC Place - again, how is this useful?</div>

</span></font></div>I do not think I need to explain - perhaps a passenger can take their eyes off the road to key in this info but a driver SHOULD not - and if its not real time info, then its no good.</span></font></div>

I came across this site <a href="http://www.overlap.co.ke/" target="_blank">Overlap.co.ke</a> ( #overlapKE ) posted by Bankelele I think it is a great idea and it definitely needs our support. it helps rank serial over-lappers it also points out over-lapping hot-spots.<br>
