Only in Kenya

I think some things are unique to our country especially on the road.

1. You find policemen controlling traffic where the traffic lights are working perfectly well.
2. A policeman, tells cars from all directions in a round about to join in at the same time. It happened to me today, the policeman was telling us to move yet there were vehicles coming from the other direction,so you squeeze your way through.
3. You find buses overtaking cars from the wrong lane in traffic on a hill.Last week Friday, we were stuck in traffic for a while on Valley road. Believe it or not some buses were using the downhill lane to overtake,yet there were oncoming vehicles which were forced to use a single lane. When I told the policeman at the roundabout, he said in a non convincing tone that he would check on it, which I doubt he did.
4. Only in Kenya is one stopped by a policeman and refuses to stop. On Friday, there was a lot of traffic. When we got to the roundabout of Silver Springs, some vehicles did not want to make the full circle and hence decided to  drive across the roundabout to avoid traffic.  A certain  Golf  car came and decided to pull the same stunt while a policeman was  frantically trying to tell him to reverse and use the right way .But  that drive was determined and he continued to drive, yet there was traffic so he couldn't get away. He actually threatened to run over the policeman. Another policeman joined his colleague and only then did the Golf stop and I wondered, surely how far did that driver think he would go?
5. Only in our lovely country are you instructed by the police to reverse in a roundabout and even when you are on the correct lane like at the Museum Hill  roundabout, you are punished and instructed to go up Waiyaki way and come down to proceed with your journey.

 It would be nice to hear the weird things you have observed on our roads.
