Two streams of vehicular traffic cross eachother in a clear, but somehow illogical way. People on the sides of the streets watch, and avoid
the situation, as cars go and come from all possible directions, clashing in th middle.
This incoherent mixing or streams is partially due to the odd street planning in the downtown district of Nairobi, and partially due to the
non-yielding, aggressive way that commercial vehicles take control of the road. The drivershave a sense of entitlement to the road, and
of power, feeling their is no need to yield to anyone or law, and a great sense of urgency driven by the fact that the faster they move, the
more frequently they get paying customers. The individual instead of group logic in reaction to traffic flow and regulation is a barrier in
situations like this rather than a help. If one direction would stop, there would be plenty of space for the other direction to clear away.
