It is a Wednesday evening in Nairobi, around 6:30pm, along Waiyaki-Way, and motorists are in a hurry to exit the city centre. At a temporary U-turn directly opposite Kempinski Hotel a traffic jam is building up; an unusual sight, considering the fact that during such hours roads to the city centre are clear.
When we join the same U-turn, it dawns on us that at the spot, motorists are forced to drive at snail speed to avoid a rugged section of the road.
