In a meeting attended by KenHA officials and police service, the ban will be in place for safety purposes as well as to avoid creating a traffic jam which was the main aim for the highway to be constructed.
“The purpose of the highway is to reduce traffic. If some people will be stopping so that they can take photos, that will create a snarl-up against them. The speed is 80 kilometres per hour. Stopping is not really practical,” explained Kenha official.
