In Kenya, the installation of speed governors, which are devices that limit the speed of vehicles, is a legal requirement for certain types of vehicles to improve road safety and reduce traffic accidents. Here’s an overview of the process, requirements, and regulations surrounding speed governor installation in Kenya:

1. Legal Requirements

• The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) mandates speed governors for all Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) and commercial vehicles with a capacity of over 3.5 tons.
• The legal speed limit enforced by the NTSA for such vehicles is 80 kilometers per hour.
• Only NTSA-approved speed governors are allowed, ensuring they meet the required standards and specifications.

2. Approved Speed Governor Providers

• Vehicle owners are required to purchase and install speed governors from NTSA-approved providers. These providers are certified to install devices that are tamper-proof and connected to a central system to allow real-time monitoring.
• A list of NTSA-approved providers can be found on the NTSA website or at NTSA offices.

3. Installation Process

• Selection of an Approved Provider: Vehicle owners must contact an NTSA-approved provider to install the speed governor.
• Installation and Calibration: Certified technicians install the device in the vehicle and calibrate it to ensure it limits the vehicle’s speed to 80 km/h.
• Testing and Certification: After installation, the speed governor is tested to confirm it is working as expected. The NTSA may inspect the device, especially for PSVs, to ensure compliance.

4. Real-time Monitoring and Digital Speed Governors

• Recently, NTSA has emphasized the use of digital speed governors that come with real-time tracking capabilities. These are connected to a central NTSA system, allowing for remote monitoring of speed and providing real-time alerts if speed limits are exceeded.

5. Penalties for Non-compliance

• Failure to install a speed governor or tampering with the device can result in hefty fines, license suspension, or impounding of the vehicle.
• Routine checks by NTSA and police officers ensure compliance, with penalties imposed on drivers and owners whose vehicles exceed the speed limits.

6. Cost and Maintenance

• The cost of installing a speed governor varies depending on the provider and the type of governor required. Basic models may be less expensive, while digital models with tracking features are typically higher-priced.
• Regular maintenance and servicing are essential to ensure the device functions properly and remains tamper-proof.

7. Annual Inspection Requirements

• NTSA requires annual inspections of commercial and PSV vehicles, including checking the functionality of speed governors. Non-functioning devices must be repaired or replaced to renew the vehicle’s roadworthiness certificate.

8. Future Developments

• The NTSA is exploring more advanced technology to improve compliance and make monitoring easier, which may include integrating speed governors with other safety monitoring systems in the future.
