This review is part of a wider study on the safe use of such vehicles in rural Africa

Abstract

A UK Department for International Development funded research project on “Enhancing understanding on safe motorcycle and three-wheeler use for rural transport and the implications for appropriate training and regulatory frameworks”, and being undertaken in Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda, has explored issues related to motorcycles and three-wheelers in detail.

This paper presents a review of the Kenyan policy and legislation surrounding motorcycles and motorised three-wheelers, together with an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and a comparison with policy and legislation in the other project countries.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
