It is deeply concerning and unfortunate that most bodaboda riders operating within Nairobi CBD have developed the habit of riding on the wrong side of the road, putting their own lives, their passengers, and other road users at serious risk. This is the disturbing situation I personally witnessed this...

It was sad seeing most bodaboda riders driving on the wrong side of the road in the Nairobi CBD, putting their own lives, their passengers, and other road users at risk. This is what I personally witnessed this evening. Enforcement will now be firm and uncompromising to restore order, discipline, and safety for everyone.

This Tuktuk was stopped by NTSA and traffic police officers while carrying eight passengers instead of the recommended four on the Kisumu-Nairobi Road. Needless to say it was dangerously overloaded. I hope the cyclist, who fled the scene, will be made to face justice for his reckless behaviour. To all passengers, please don't encourage this kind of unsafe road behaviour by keeping quiet. Protest when you see a bus driver or a Tuktuk cyclist starting to overload. Let's stop risking lives on our roads. Remember that road safety is everyone's responsibility.

Wanavunja sheria wakijua ni vibaya wanachofanya. Wakishikwa, wanasema kanjo ni wabaya. The only way to stop this reckless behavior of boda boda riders breaking the law is to arrest both the rider and the customer. By doing so, they will be forced to self-regulate, as clients will demand that riders follow the law and avoid risking their lives by using the wrong side of the road.

This evening along Mombasa Road, I witnessed a deeply concerning situation where some pedestrians blatantly disregarded traffic rules, avoiding designated footbridges and instead risking their lives by crossing busy roads amid fast-moving traffic. This dangerous behavior continues to put lives at risk and has contributed to a worrying number of fatal accidents on our roads. We have received multiple reports of pedestrians being knocked down while attempting to cross in unsafe areas. These tragic incidents are entirely preventable if proper crossing points are used. Our county officers will be deployed to enforce compliance and enhance safety along these roads. However, enforcement alone is not enough we all have a role to play in promoting road safety. I appeal to all pedestrians to prioritize their safety by using footbridges and designated crossings at all times. Your life is invaluable. Let us work together to build a culture of responsibility and awareness on our roads, where every journey whether by foot or vehicle ends safely.

IMPUNITY AND IGNORANCE OF THE EXISTING LAWS!!. It is deeply concerning to see so many pedestrians choosing to cross busy roads at unsafe points instead of using the footbridges provided for their safety. This risky behavior continues to result in avoidable accidents, injuries, and even loss of life. Today along Mombasa Road, I witnessed several people ignoring a nearby footbridge and opting for a dangerous shortcut across the highway. While it may seem faster or more convenient in the moment, the consequences can be devastating. Footbridges are constructed specifically to protect lives, and using them should not be optional but a shared responsibility. We shall deploy our officers to arrest anyone who is found in violation of the law, especially those who avoid using the flyovers and instead opt to risk their lives by competing with vehicles an act that often leads to unnecessary accidents and loss of lives. Road safety is a collective effort drivers, pedestrians, and authorities all have a role to play. There is a need for increased public awareness, stricter enforcement of traffic rules, and a mindset shift among pedestrians to prioritize safety over convenience. No shortcut is worth risking a life. Let us all choose to be more responsible and encourage others to do the same.

A Bengaluru Activa rider showed real courage by standing his ground against an SUV driver recklessly driving on the wrong side of a one-way road. He refused to budge until the driver reversed, sending a clear message: traffic rules are not optional. This incident highlights the growing arrogance and dangerous driving culture on city roads. Road discipline must be enforced before more lives are put at risk.

This is from my visit to Nagaland for a Road safety session before HornBill festival in Nov 2024. Traffic jam in a remote section on the hills. Not a single policeman within miles… No road markings, potholes, bad roads, But Nobody crossing to wrong side. This is also India and they are also Indians. Why we on the plains are always finding excuses to break the rules. If you are a good person, you follow the rules, whether the cops are watching or not, that’s it. From the Hills of Nagaland. #RoadSafety

The road construction on Princess Park Street has been progressing quite well and we grateful for the continued support and patience of the community and road users. The final road layer is in progress and it is anticipated that the surfacing be completed by Friday 12 December 2025. The safety of the road users is the core priority and it is for this reason that the Roads and Transport will implement pre-markings and install temporary stop signs for the entire festive season as the road will be open for traffic soon. As the MMC for Roads and Transport I have visited the site on regular basis since the commencement of construction ,to ensure that the set milestones and commitments to the residents of Tshwane are fulfilled.

Today I held two important meetings to review the progress on creation of the new TMARS-Traffic Management and Road Safety Bureau of TG and the TADASC- Telangana Anti Drug & Safety Committees in all educational institutions. Work on these has been going on for the last couple of months and is nearing fruition The TMARS is proposed to lead to standardisation of Traffic Management practices across the state and also enhance road safety through Highway patrolling and also taken up maintenance of traffic signals, setting up new ones , road signages and infra etc. The TADASC will extend the drive against narcotics into all educational institutions and make educational institutions responsible for spotting and informing the law enforcement authorities about any suspicious behaviour of students . The students will have to give affidavits regarding drugs and the educational institutions will be liable for not implementing this. They will appoint campus safety coordinators and work with students and authorities and will also look into ragging, acts against dignity of girl students, traffic awareness. Unless we save our next generation against this danger, we are going to lose this war against Drugs. #TelanganaPolice

VIDEO | Kolkata: Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul says, "We have taken 2-3 important decisions. In our Urban Development and Municipal Affairs departments, we have taken the principle decision that parking on both sides of the road, which has continued illegally for 15 years, will now be regulated. Parking will be allowed only on the designated side of the road, while parking on the other side will not be permitted. Secondly, parking fees are being collected illegally in parking lots, and taxes from these collections are not being paid to the government. These illegal collections must be stopped immediately so that the entire tax amount goes to the government. Also, the helpline number was not only a women’s helpline number; it was a child helpline number. The same number should now be integrated as a women’s helpline number as well. If anyone faces any problem, both the women’s helpline and child helpline numbers should remain active. In both the Women and Child department and the Urban Development and Municipal Affairs department, a call centre should be set up so that the public can call these two departments and share their issues and grievances. She adds, "Lastly, wherever there is pollution, we have seen over the last 15 years in Bengal, in Kolkata and Asansol, that garbage is lying everywhere and is not being cleaned. Now this responsibility is also being given to the public through geotagging. We have developed an app where people can send geotagged pictures, and within two hours the corporation or municipality will come and clean the area. But along with this, I also need the cooperation of the public. We should not throw garbage on the roads. Prevention is better than cure. Of course, cleaning is our responsibility, but we must also remain conscious about littering on roads..."

"Overloading remains a leading contributor to road crashes, and we won't tolerate it on our roads," says the department. The vehicles are being held at Polokwane Traffic Control Centre pending further action. Video

Crackdown on Chaos: Pune Traffic Police Get Tough Pune’s roads are under strict watch as the Traffic Police unleash an intensified crackdown on rule breakers. With more than 5,000 motorists penalised daily, the message is unmistakable — traffic violations won’t be tolerated. From signal jumping, double parking, riding on footpaths, helmetless or triple-seat riding, wrong-side driving, seatbelt violations, to blocking traffic, offenders are facing on-the-spot action. A Pune Mirror team witnessed the drive at Nagar Road, where even a rider using a mobile phone while driving was immediately fined. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Himmat Jadhav said these periodic drives aim to curb habitual offenders and promote safer, more responsible driving behaviour. With heightened vigilance and rising penalties, Pune is making it clear: obey the rules — or pay for breaking them.

The menace of wrong side driving has surged rapidly in recent years in #Dehradun and elsewhere. While this was earlier limited to neighbourhoods and outer areas, lax enforcement has emboldened errant drivers of two wheelers and cars to break all boundaries. In this video that has now gone viral; we can see this brazen act of wrong side driving on a flyover of all places and that too in the middle and not on the other side of the lane. I hope that the Doon Police and Uttarakhand Police are making a note and taking a firm stand on such issues of road safety, traffic management and blatant rule violations.

Pune has a chronic behavioral problem of driving on the wrong side of the road. I got time to edit the video to my daily route today. In this 3 min video you will see gig works, women, school vans, dumpsters, auto mafias, cyclists, bikers, almost every niche driving on the wrong side. No fear whatsoever. You will see me honking as well to grab their attention because car owners like me will be blamed first if something happens. And with ADAS level 2 it is more riskier because car can sudden brake anytime and the vehicle behind me will cause more damage. We need a revolution for this. Maybe they are driving on wrong side due to long u turns? or to save some fuel or to save time or out of habit or maybe because all of it but no one is there to keep a check on them. No cameras no police no volunteers nothing. And this is non traffic hours. You can imagine 6-8pm traffic with high beams on the wrong side on a state highway.

Yesterday night, I witnessed a very unfortunate incident in Nairobi CBD where a motorist was robbed of a car spare part while stuck in traffic. A group of thieves stormed the vehicle, forcefully removed the spare part, and fled the scene within minutes. Sadly, such criminal acts have now become increasingly common in Nairobi. The Nairobi County Government, working closely with the National Police Service, will intensify security operations within the CBD and other affected areas to ensure the safety of motorists and residents. We are committed to strengthening enforcement measures, increasing patrols, enhancing surveillance, and ensuring that all culprits involved in these criminal activities are swiftly arrested and prosecuted.

A Daily Gamble With Speeding Traffic. Pedestrians Risk Lives on Nagar Road Crossing Nagar Road has turned into a perilous ordeal for pedestrians. With the traffic department barricading major intersections across the city including the busy stretch near Phoenix Marketcity vehicles are now forced to move ahead and take distant U-turns. But at these U-turn points, the absence of speed breakers, traffic signals, and zebra crossings has created a dangerous situation. Pedestrians attempting to cross are left battling a stream of fast-moving vehicles, each step a risk to life and limb. Adding to the chaos, several vehicles drive the wrong way from the Phoenix Marketcity side to reach the U-turn sooner, blatantly moving against the traffic flow. This reckless behavior heightens the danger not only for pedestrians but also for commuters heading towards Vimannagar, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park, and Camp. The situation is spiraling into a serious safety hazard. Immediate intervention from the traffic police is essential to prevent a potential tragedy.
