The Nairobi Expressway is a key route to avoid heavy traffic in the city. But not all vehicles can use it. Recently, an Uber driver shared how he was stopped at the toll station. Later, he found out his vehicle had been blacklisted.
Moja Expressway Company says blacklisting is part of their enforcement system. Drivers may be banned for traffic offences. Common reasons include:
- Driving in the wrong lane.
- Using the ETC lane without registration or balance.
- Overspeeding or reckless driving.
- Damaging toll infrastructure.
- Bypassing toll payments.
- Misusing ETC tags, like sharing them or using invalid details.
Serious offences may result in a Notice to Appear in Court. If a driver ignores it, the case may escalate. Moja Expressway can then block access to both manual and ETC lanes.
How to Get Off the Expressway Blacklist
Most motorists discover the ban when their ETC tag is deactivated. To fix it, visit a Moja Expressway Service Centre at Mlolongo, Museum Hill, or Westlands.
If the issue is legal, like a missed court date or unpaid fine, you may be referred to a police station. Once resolved, access to the expressway can be restored.
Motorists should take all legal notices seriously. Handling offences promptly helps avoid blacklisting and ensures smooth travel on the Nairobi Expressway.
