The Kenya Railways on Saturday urged motorists and pedestrians to stay alert while crossing the rail tracks to avoid accidents. Through a notice, motorists were asked to cease competing to beat the oncoming train while pedestrians urged to stay away from the railway line as the train is usually moving at high speed.

“We hereby urge motorists and pedestrians to stay alert while crossing rail tracks and desist from competing to beat the oncoming train. Members of the public are urged to stay away from the railway line and while crossing at the level crossings, please note that an oncoming train is nearer than you think and moving at a faster speed than you think,” read part of the statement.
