Road hazards

Filed under: Rant, Travel, Lists

An incomplete list of road hazards I experienced in the last week:

Herds of: goats, sheep, cattle, donkies, chickens, zebra, impala, gazelles. Tortoises, ostriches, dogs, speedbumps, countless unmarked very large speedbumps, cars in the wrong lanes, diesel fumes so thick you can’t see through them, crazy matatu drivers, crazy bus drivers, torrential rains, flocks of school children, loaded down bicycles with centers of gravity a dozen feet in the air, streetside vendors, potholes bigger than any pot I’ve seen, bridges without railings, traffic cops and their tire-spiking barriers, other road barriers, diversions, punctured tires (7 punctures in one day), car-jackers and highway bandits (potential, not personally experienced, thankfully), and more.
