MPs Warn NTSA Against Imposing Speed Limits on Highways

Motorists could be spared from tighter speed restrictions on highways after Members of Parliament rejected a proposal by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to impose speed limits.
According to the MPs, the move could worsen traffic congestion on major highways, therefore causing unnecessary delays.
"The Committee, however, discouraged NTSA from imposing speed limits on highways, saying the move could worsen traffic congestion," the committee said in a statement after the meeting.
NTSA already enforces active speed limits on major Kenyan highways through an automated traffic enforcement system.
However, motorists have consistently ignored the speed limits, with most saying they cannot spot the surveillance cameras.
