Users of Langata Road had previously complained over how dangerous the place was especially with a nightclub and rowdy revellers in the area.
Few days ago the government introduced daytime ‘alcoblow’ tests in efforts to curb accidents caused by drunk driving this festive season.
Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet on Friday warned drivers saying those who drink alcohol and drive will face the law.
He said more traffic police officers will be deployed along the highways during the festivities. Thousands of Kenyans do travel to their rural homes for the celebrations, causing a traffic surge on the roads.
“The alcohol testing will go a long way in ensuring that the number of road fatalities is reduced during this festive season,” Boinnet said.
