The Kenyan government plans to establish resting places for lorries on major highways and expand road sections at identified blackspots to reduce accidents. This initiative, announced by Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir, aims to curb fatigue-related crashes and improve road safety across the country.

• Driving hours for lorry drivers will be monitored using telematics to prevent fatigue.
• Regulations for creating these parking bays will be presented to Parliament.
• Key areas like the Nithi Bridge are targeted for widening and safety improvements within this financial year.
