Nyambare residents in Lari Sub County have appealed to the government to erect bumps along the Nyambare-Lari Road to curb rising accidents.
The locals complain that lack of road bumps along the busy road has led to rise in road accidents.
Speaking on Wednesday, the locals said that cases of pedestrians being hit by over speeding motorists are on the rise.
“The government through relevant agencies to should erect bumps along this road to reduce on the number of accidents,” said John Muchiri, a businessman at Nyambare trading center.
The businessman alleged that three people are knocked down by speeding vehicles every week. He also asked the government to erect more road signs to guide motorists and other road users.
Stella Mbuthia, a vegetable vendor at Nyambare shopping centre blamed rise of accidents to reckless driving.
She called on the government to crack the whip on rogue road users so as to reduce accidents.
The locals concern came after a bodaboda rider was hit down and killed by a speeding vehicle at Nyambari Shopping Centre on Monday night. The bodaboda rider was knocked down by a vehicle that was trying to overtake using the wrong lane according to eye witnesses.
Lari acting police boss Dorothy Nahashon has since vowed to crack the whip on errant motorists.
In a telephone interview, she said that rogue motorists will be dealt with accordingly.
