The High Court has directed the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to continue recognising existing physical motor vehicle logbooks as valid documents pending the hearing of a petition challenging the implementation of the electronic motor vehicle registration certificate (e-Logbook).
The National Transport and Safety Authority has intensified enforcement against pedestrians crossing major highways at undesignated points, with several arrested at GSU Training School on the Eastern Bypass for failing to use a nearby footbridge. More than 50 pedestrians were arrested in a similar operation at Allsops footbridge along Thika Road the previous week.
The National Transport and Safety Authority arrested at least 50 pedestrians on Thika Road for failing to use footbridges and crossing at undesignated points during a crackdown operation. The arrests are part of a citywide enforcement campaign targeting high-risk areas where pedestrians frequently ignore designated crossing points, citing road safety data showing pedestrians account for nearly 38 per cent of all road traffic deaths in Kenya.
The National Transport and Safety Authority and National Police Service arrested several pedestrians during an operation at the Pipeline Transami crossing in Nairobi for crossing the highway at undesignated points despite a pedestrian footbridge being available. The enforcement is part of NTSA's ongoing campaign to improve road discipline and reduce pedestrian deaths.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) arrested 35 pedestrians at Buruburu Interchange for failing to use a designated footbridge while crossing roads, which the Authority says obstructs traffic flow and endangers lives. The enforcement operation is part of a broader crackdown on unsafe pedestrian behaviour across Nairobi conducted jointly by NTSA, the National Police Service, and Nairobi City County.
Twenty-two pedestrians have been arrested and arraigned in court for illegally crossing the Thika Superhighway at Allsops instead of using a footbridge, in a joint enforcement operation by the NTSA, National Police Service, and Nairobi City County. The accused face charges of crossing at an undesignated point and obstructing traffic flow; pedestrians who ignore designated crossings are liable to fines starting from Sh500 under the Traffic Act.
Kenya Rural Roads Authority says the Ngong-Suswa road, designed for 10-tonne axle loads, has deteriorated because traffic has carried up to 50 tonnes, and plans phased maintenance and enforcement via a virtual weighbridge to address the issue.
The National Transport and Safety Authority Director General says the mandatory motor vehicle inspection plan, initiated in 2016 and effective from June 2022, is needed to address national security, ensure roadworthy vehicles, and maintain vehicle records for national planning. He clarified that the four-year inspection threshold is calculated from a vehicle's date of manufacture rather than importation.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) announced intermittent portal downtime from 4pm Tuesday until 8am Wednesday to transition to a new electronic logbook (eLogbook) system, which will include QR code verification and enhance management of vehicle ownership records. The temporary disruption will affect vehicle registration, ownership transfers, licence services and other online transactions.
Kenya's National Transport and Safety Authority rolled out a minor traffic offences enforcement framework on June 1, 2026, allowing motorists to settle penalties via Police Notification of Traffic Offence without court appearance. The framework, developed with the National Police Service and other agencies, aims to enhance compliance, transparency and efficiency in enforcement.
A High Court judge has issued a conservatory order requiring the NTSA to keep detailed records of all payments made under the instant penalty system for traffic offences, which launched on June 1, 2026. The ruling does not halt enforcement but sets up a legal challenge ahead of a scheduled hearing on the matter.
The National Transport and Safety Authority's new system for issuing instant fines for minor traffic offences has not fully taken effect, with motorists who committed violations captured by surveillance cameras yet to receive notifications, raising questions about the framework's effectiveness days after launch.
Kenya's National Transport and Safety Authority will roll out a modernised enforcement framework for minor traffic offences from June 1, 2026, allowing motorists to receive Police Notifications of Traffic Offence via SMS and email, in some cases avoiding court appearance.
