The 500-kilometre stretch of road between Moyale to Isiolo town is perhaps the most policed highway in the country.

There are eight road blocks along this highway linking Kenya to Ethiopia. The first is at Odda, about nine kilometres from the border and at Sololo Junction, Walda, Turbi, Marsabit, Merille, Archer’s Post and Isiolo.
