Allow me to share one of my many not-so-pleasant experiences on Thika road (and its feeder roads), hoping something will be done about this.<br>
<br>My office is in KIE, off Muranga road at the Desai road junction next to Nbi Gymkhana Club. I was on Mombasa road this morning and decided to get to the office via forest road to avoid the madness at the Fig Tree junction along Ngara road. <br>
<br>To my shock,the turn off from Forest road into Desai road has been blocked off (it was there last week). I was thus forced to drive all the way past the flyover at Pangani, double back through through Ring Road and juja road into Muranga road , to try and access Desai road from the opposite end. Another shocker, there is no turn off either into KIE from muranga road (approaching from the Pangani side)! <br>
<br>What is there is a small gap in the huge concrete blocks seperating traffic from and to the city centre, through which vehicles make an illegal U-Turn, while avoiding on-coming traffic from the city centre. I have had 3 accidents at that spot in the last 5 months and am not even a daily user of that road.<br>
<br>My question to you Engineer Kidenda is, how are those of us who work along desai road (especially on the Nbi Gymkhana side) expected to navigate back into the city center or to cross over to the other section of Desai road towards kariakor roundabout, because both exit and entry points have been blocked? We have been reduced to playing Russian roulette every evening, with matatus to githurai/Dandora etc whizzing past at breakneck speed.<br>
<br>And that is not even 1% of my near-death experiences..<br><br>Andrew<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 2:30 PM, Grace Githaiga <<a href="mailto:ggithaiga@hotmail.com" target="_blank">ggithaiga@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p>
