The Deadliest Road in Kenya

In 2018, Kenya spent nearly $4 million building a concrete barrier down the middle of a single stretch of highway to stop the crashes. Years later, it's still one of the deadliest roads in the country. In this video, we dig into Kenya's most notorious "killer stretch" the Salgaa-Sachangwan section of the Nakuru-Eldoret highway, part of the Northern Corridor connecting Kenya to Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, and beyond. We look at why this road became so dangerous in the first place, why thousands of trucks and matatus still use it every single day despite the risk, and why even a government-funded fix hasn't been enough to stop the crashes. 00:00 - The 2018 intervention 00:38 - Crashes that never stopped 01:28 - Which road is deadliest? 03:30 - Salgaa and the Northern Corridor 05:49 - Why the route can't be avoided 07:01 - Can engineering fix it? 09:01 - The road nobody can stop using #kenya #dangerousroads #africa #roadsafety #travel
