Motorists plying roads in Thika have been told to be wary of slippery roads as rains continue to pound the area.
According to sub county traffic commander William Uhuro, most roads are slippery with the ongoing rains.
He urged motorists to be careful especially during at night saying the move will help curb accidents.
Speaking to journalists at Thika town on Tuesday, Mr Uhuro said: “The onset of heavy rains has started and our appeal is to motorists to be wary of slippery roads and also observe traffic regulations.
The traffic base commander said that traffic police will be stationed across major roads to monitor traffic. He warned that stern action will be taken against motorists who flout traffic regulations.
At the same time, the commander said that cases of road carnage had reduced significantly. He attributed the move to intensive road safety campaigns that are being conducted by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
Mr Uhuro urged pedestrians and cyclists to use the special lanes that have been constructed for them when using the Thika superhighway.
He noted that despite existence of foot bridges and cyclists lanes some pedestrians and cyclists still compete with vehicles on the main highway.
