  "summary": "Residents of Runda Riviera in Kenya have expressed urgent concerns over the deteriorating condition of a stretch of Limuru Road, which they claim has become a significant safety hazard due to deep potholes and lack of proper road markings. A head-on collision between two vehicles, which occurred after drivers swerved to avoid these potholes, has prompted the Runda Riviera Residents’ Association to demand immediate repairs and the installation of street lighting. The association, led by James Nyiha Wanjohi, has written to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), urging them to address the issue within 14 days and detailing the necessary actions, including repairing potholes, restoring road surfaces, painting center and edge lines, installing reflective studs, and providing street lighting. The residents emphasize that the road's lack of center lines, edge markings, and reflective studs, combined with its hilly terrain, sharp bends, and heavy tree cover, exacerbates the danger, especially at night and during rainy weather. They stress the urgency of the situation to prevent further accidents and potential loss of life.",
