The Milimani Traffic Court on Wednesday began an exercise aimed at sensitising the public on road safety and traffic rules.
Magistrates Susan Shitubi, Martha Nanzushi, Esther Kimilu and Senior Superintendent of Judicial Police Unit Faridah Rotich are leading the exercise dubbed 'Kaa Rada Kwa Rodi'.
"Starting today, tomorrow to Friday, we are getting out. The traffic court plus all stakeholders, Nacada, ODPP, the police, the county and NTSA, it's time to come out and meet them and interact and ask the questions you have always had," Chief Magistrate Shitubi said.
The court joined by the stakeholders will transverse Nairobi county to ensure that traffic laws are observed and road accidents are minimised.
Among the issues they seek to raise concern about are the safety of school children, the issue of reckless driving, handcarts, drunk driving, avoidance of footbridges, jumping over guard rails, not prioritising pedestrians at zebra crossings and hawkers taking over footbridges.
