A woman stands on the center island of Kenyatte Avenue between six lanes of fast-moving traffic. She has stopped in the middle on her
way across the road, and is waiting for a break in the traffic in order to cross the other half.
As a general rule vehicles in Nairobi do not yield for pedestrians crossing the road. When traffic is thick and quick-moving a pedestrian
can wait for 5 minutes until the traffic clears, allowing them to cross the road. Designated crossing areas are practically non-existent, and
are widely disrespected by vehicles. In-fact, this center island may even be seen as an aid to pedestrian crossing. Pedestrians are forced
to find a way through, and frequently make themselves vulnerable to the mercy of drivers, because there is no other option.
