Various types of vehicles

Sharing the space at the Globe Cinema Roundabout


Context of the observation

The leading mkokoteni with a heavy load on it is beeing pulled by a person on the rear while beeing directed by the person at the front. Another well loaded mkokoteni is following while a jeep is trying to get between them maybe to turn left and to leave the roundabout. The second mkokoteni tries to slow down to create a gap for the turning in car. The cars are beeing decelerated by the relatively slow movement of the mkokoteni. Mkokoteni dangerously intrucding into vehicular (motorized) route of movement. Pulling and pushing mkokotenis on roads lead to congestions and impede traffic flow.
