In a major stride toward enhancing road safety enforcement in Mombasa, the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), in partnership with the Bloomberg Philanthropies' Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), is set to donate advanced laser speed guns to the local police.
The cutting-edge devices, designed to accurately detect speeding vehicles, aim to curb road traffic violations and save lives on Kenyan roads.
Speaking during the Enforcement and Behavioral Change Media Training, Artur Zawadzki, Senior Road Policing Officer at GRSP, emphasized the importance of pairing technology with public awareness. "Enforcement alone can change behavior temporarily, but when combined with strong media engagement, it has a lasting impact," he said.
The initiative forms part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), which GRSP is implementing in Kenya.
