Naivasha sub county commissioner Abraham Kemboi has cautioned motorists using the Nairobi-Nakuru highway against flouting traffic regulations.
Briefing the press on Friday from his office, Kemboi said flouters of traffic regulations will be arrested and taken to court.
He said they are coordinating with the Traffic Department and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to ensure order along the highway.
“We are going to deal accordingly with motorists who are fond of contravening traffic regulations,” he said.
The sub county commissioner said that motorists are fond of over speeding especially at night saying that more traffic officers have been deployed to deal with culprits.
He added that speed cameras have been installed at specific points along the highway and will help monitor the situation.
The sub county commissioner urged Public Service Vehicles (PSV) drivers and conductors to ensure safety of their passengers saying they have an obligation to screen their passengers before allowing them to board the vehicles.
Kemboi said the move will help curb crime noting that cases of vehicles being hijacked by criminals have increased. He also asked passengers to be on the lookout and also report drivers who flout traffic laws.
