Sometimes traffic police are to blame, their absence in most junction points in most Dar es Salaam city roads has resulted into a frequent motor accidents, and most of all notorious is traffic jam, forcing motorists to negotiate their way through as this photo depicts a situation at a junction of Azikiwe and Bibi Titi Mohamed in downtown Dar es Salaam.
A similar incident occurred at the junction of Kawawa and Nyerere Road recently. These two motor cyclists gets into difficulty while trying to find their way through. They are struggling to overtake and if possible get through, but are seen to have been abstracted by a pick-up car and a canter. This is very dangerous. Road accidents in the city of Dar es Salaam have become numerous due primarily to a large number of vehicles on the roads.
A traffic police standing on the right in a move to stop the speeding vehicles from one side, while the other one is on the left who seems to be a woman traffic police also in the same mission. This is at a point of a junction road going to Julius Nyerere International Airport terminal one in Dar es Salaam. The deployment of these two traffic police officers is for security reasons whenever there is a Presidential mortgage or a visiting head of State in the country. In the middle is seen a police car coming from the airport ushering the procession of the highly profile figures is about to pass through. Burt many people including motorists on the road have claimed over the move saying that, are made to stand on the road for long tome almost half an hour. What is if an ambulance was on its way carrying a patient such as a woman who with a labour pain who is being rushed to the hospital for delivery of a baby who probably might become a President, and suddenly should the ambulance come into contact with this delay and caused the death of a patient” Is it right for such ambulances to be subjected to abide by this rule?
Commuters are now enjoying at a bus stand while waiting for town buses popularly known as Daladala to board in. They are now sure of their safety following the construction of the balustrade pipes that allows them to stand against. This was a dangerous place before the placement of these pipes as one could easily fall down the trench through which dirty waters from a nearby residential quarter passes. Unlike before this area was a dangerous place for commuters as it had no facilities like a booth which could help passengers. You can see people have leaned against while waiting for the transport. This is at Sinza Afrika Sana area in Mwenge, Dar es Salaam.
Home made commodities have flocked Tanzania’s local market, traders sometimes takes the opportunity to display their products in an open roadside promotion as this photo depicts. Various home appliances have been put for sale along New Bagamoyo Road opposite New Millennium Tower building. The presence of these products is so dangerous as motorists are speeding along the road as my digital camera recently captured them. According to one eye-witness, the business is usual despite the ban
Billboards are scattered all over especially along the Highways within the city as I captured the presence of these billboards advertisements while I was traveling along Kawawa Road in my normal daily activities. This is on a slope as I was going to Magomeni suburb in the city.
