IMPACTS OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY: CASE STUDY NAIROBI-THIKA SUPERHIGHWAY

The subsequent improvements on the road between Pangani and Muthaiga, which is part of the
Thika superhighway, was done to address issues of poor level of service, traffic volume capacity
and safety on the road.
High rates of traffic and travel demand, both motorized and non- motorized, paired with poor
road conditions all strangled the mobility and urban access and reduced safety in the
metropolitan area, which has very high rates of road traffic accidents often involving pedestrians

WAYS OF MITIGATING CAUSES OF STRUCTRURAL COLLAPSE TO ENSURE THE STABILITY AND SAFETY OF STRUCTURES IN KENYA A CASE STUDY ON BUILDING FAILURES IN NAIROBI

Negligence is often one of the main reasons that lead to the failure and collapse of structures. It
is essential that the important areas of constructions such as investigating soil properties, stresses
from winds, designing for extra loads, earthquakes, investigation of terrains, picking building

Some of the natural causes of structural failures and collapse are tornadoes, excessive floods, and
