KENYA'S DEADLY ROADS | Salgaa black spot | The wall that reduced accidents and killings | Nakuru

#nakuru #Salgaa #engineering
Salgaa has perhaps been the most notorious black spot in the country if the number of road accidents that have happened along the road is anything to go by.
The accidents have robbed dozens of families of their loved ones and left tens of others with injuries. but the move to dual the stretch separating traffic with a movable barrier had been bearing fruit.

[@Joz_art]

Very smooth to watch. A great story, still lingering in my mind after watching it. Nice one Enock.

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thank you so much, Joz. Much appreciated and your support is highly valued.

[@robertmwainge3393]

Waah!

[@Its_emille]

I have been watching documentaries for years from other countries but when I stumbled on your channel, I was amazed with the content which is done with so much professionalism and passion. Am sold and here to stay. Well done!!!!

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thank you so much. Much appreciated. Your support is highly valued and appreciated

[@IrushKansas]

I am glad it got fixed… 90% of most accidents in this country would be prevented by measures like this. That place had claimed many lives. Good reporting.

[@kanyeboni]

This is top tier content as usual. I have used this road since 2007 and I know how many lives were lost before the barriers were erected, sad!!! Keep up the good work sir, we really appreciate. 👏👏

[@KenyanHistorian]

Glad you enjoyed it! Ahsante sana for your kind words.

[@TheDJGuVna]

I stumbled on the Outer-ring road documentary today morning...didn't have time to go down the rabbit hole cos I was watching while preparing to start my day...I haven't even watched this yet but I know it will be good, and I have a feeling I'll be on this channel for the rest of the night now that I've started watching again...Brilliant work. You definitely need more subscribers...and if you ever need a sound guy/music ✋🏾✋🏾✋🏾

[@KenyanHistorian]

Wacha nitafute pesa I start sourcing for professionalism in every aspect of production. Ahsante sana for believing in Kenyan Historian.

[@TheDJGuVna]

@@KenyanHistorian I'm cheap😂😂😂

[@elijahmwangi8446]

This has always always been my route a lot of times...the idea of the barrier has been a saviour...a job well done on the documentary.

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thanks Elijah. Much appreciated sir.

[@alfonsomokua4378]

For the love of informative documentaries, Enock Sikolia is taking this to another level. Keep it up Man. My notifications are always on waiting to get educated on Kenyan affairs all the way from politics and other domestic affairs. 😎🤝

[@georgek685]

This is better than mainstream media! A job well done enock!

[@maiyo2543]

Congrats Enock you are true Kenyan historian keep up

[@manoahsongok6079]

Your documentaries are always on point🎉 , you are indeed a rare gem in the media world .

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thanks, Manoah. This is humbling. Appreciated sir

[@emmanuelkipkosgey7888]

[@martinkibe6824]

That 2017 12th December accident was the climax of all the accidents there.

[@bahatiwaeldoret9241]

My Friends got an accident at that blackspot Yesterday 27/12/2023 at around 1pm heading to Nairobi, when their voxy breaks stopped working after they overtaked....the car rolled 10meters but thank God they all survived

[@michaelb4290]

I believe that the road was also made a dual carriageway in addition to the wall being built. Previously, it only had a climbing lane, and of course no wall.

[@nellynzau421]

One of the Best..... Keep it up Enock

[@molotovcocktail4207]

First comment here.What a nice piece 💯

[@KenyanHistorian]

Ooh thank you so much. Appreciated

[@brandongoefrey1104]

honestly been watching your channel for a while now your videos are entertaining and informative Thank you for a job well done

[@KenyanHistorian]

I appreciate that Brandon. God bless you sir.

[@WilberforceImbanga]

Great documentary,Mr.Enock!,good job👊👊

[@tedirungu5002]

This indicates we need a national dual carriage network for our major national trunk roads. Traffic separation reduces accidents.

[@tvbingo254]

Shikoli you are best in kenyan documentaries

[@kenyanboy7627]

I've seen it all since this road has been my office for the past cemtury,from the time it was a single lane to now being a dual carriage,i can tell the history

[@antonynganga7868]

Wow..what an inspiring story..frm a professional reporter,professional presentation,bro..nakutolea kofia🥳💪👌 I love your vlogs🎉❤ Dubai

[@jeffnjoroge9170]

Amazing video coverage.. Wonderful narration this is my hood and this is epic thenx enoc👏👏

[@kiruja.]

Hello there Enoch am a 4th year journalism student... love your documentaries would greatly appreciate working with you some day.Thank you.

[@benterbii]

May those who lost their Lives in 2009 Continue resting in peace 😢❤ A good documentation.

[@gakahuarthur993]

this stretch feels dangerous even with these improvement. but kudos especially on the bumps which helped tame truck drivers along the decent

[@TheAmbassedor]

Great concept that was. I only have an issue with the runaway ramps. How do you put Kokoto on the runaways ramp? Sand (That is often dug to sotfen it) would have been ideal. But again, people would be stealing those sand.

[@tallambismark1062]

As an engineer, I'm proud of this

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thank you sir.

[@danielmusyoki3786]

Nice man big up

[@karinbenjamin9040]

😊Asante Enock for the mwosho moja. Salgaa had a bad reputation now seen as things of the past! Thank you

Pole sana Derrick. It was terrible. Thanks for watching my documentaries. Ahsante sana sana

[@langatmichael4365]

Impressive good work enock

[@Abdishakuuur]

Very informative.. Good job sir...

[@ro6ley]

That we have to go to such lengths to tame rogue drivers shows the problem on Kenyan roads, and what actually really needs to be addressed to enhance safety on our roads.

[@martinmulwa8891]

Your channel is very educative, keep it up the good work🤝

[@isaacmutethia3538]

Good job Enock👏..I like it

[@KenyanHistorian]

Thank you so much, Isaac. Appreciated

[@Kirimikilea]

very good production enock keep it up

[@jobnganga7128]

I love your documentary keep going dude

[@kenyanboy7627]

I've been a driver on these stretch for close to a century now,I was there before the wall & I can attest to it that the wall has done much, though it doesn't prevent accidents from happening,it minimizes the impact from road crashes by 50% in that only vehicles heading in one direction are involved, initially,before the wall,both vehicles heading in the same direction & from the opposite direction were involved

[@Thekid254rhumba]

Napenda ukiisema kwa kiswahili tukikuona yaani authenticity si ukisema kwa kizungu

[@nenyonfm5667]

Very nice

[@josephmigwi5762]

Is it the wall or the dual carriageway that reduced the accidents? Confused to be honest.

[@kenyanvoicenews4579]

Enock Please work on your Thumbnails.....your videos deserve the Best...... Good Work

[@MaxwellOtieno-v2g]

[@ninawainaina]

I wonder how the small runaway ramps will stop any truck,they are very short

[@raymondsimiyu7823]

I lost my Dad on that stretch good content bro

[@kahut3345]

im so sorry bro

[@nickbala1939]

this wall is really a godsend❤

[@maathaimaathai3395]

No sir! It's engineering

[@TheJacobsInspirationTv]

Enock... a great reporter. @citizen Tv 📺 lost a gem 💎

[@gilbertowuor6071]

Dualling all our major highways is the only way to stop thecarnage on our roads.

Enock I have a sad story new same place funeral near claimed a lot lately

[@wasiwasitv]

I could recommend the kenya government to consider American 🇺🇲 to build all highways in kenya for my experience they're really good. trust the process 🙏

[@mislammugane2809]

Anyone heading to western better use kabarak Ravine Nyaru route very comfortable because of low traffic

[@HenrySheriffkuria]

Nithi bridge needs the same wall

[@gedionkhlgedionkhl8809]

Next document nithi bridge

[@johnohando2390]

That those barriers costed the tax payers money 500M is questionable.

[@GarbanzoBeansFan]

one stretch of road i fear most

[@u-know-this]

The beginning of the wall is the deadliest part of that wall

[@KenyanHistorian]

I gather that's where we now have many accidents

[@u-know-this]

@@KenyanHistorian they need a barrier or slope it into the ground so cars don't hit it directly

[@kenyanvoicenews4579]

See how you have grown.....

[@gottimaranzano9409]

No road marks or road signs. No road speed limit signs. No street lights on that stretch. Slow moving trucks and vehicle using the fast lane instead of them staying on the left lane. Vehicles overtaking from the left lane.all these are recipes for disaster.

[@koskeisonoya]

Salgaa literally means paint home or praise home

[@sirhenry3843]

A lorry remains stalled for two days.poor government

[@ericmatheri9394]

Key word...police started selling the fuel at the site...impunity-This cannot just be made up!!
