Abstract

This chapter delves into the landscape of Kenyan policies and policing activities concerning road safety, with a particular focus on the inadequacies of the Traffic Act, road monitoring strategies, and dynamics of police-public trust. It highlights the impediments to enforcing traffic laws (chief of which is corruption), including ineffective monitoring strategies and prevalent criminal activities targeting road users. Recommendations proposed involve strengthening traffic law enforcement through resource prioritization and technological integration, enhancing collaboration among agencies, fostering public engagement and education, and addressing criminal activities. Through these strategies, the chapter aims to address the identified shortcomings and promote safer roads in Kenya.
