The objective of forming the Authority was to harmonize the operations of the key road transport departments and help in effectively managing the road transport sub-sector and minimizing loss of lives through road accidents.Its Vision is to ensure sustainable and safe road transport system with zero crashes and its mission is to facilitate the provision of safe, reliable, efficient road transport services. However, development and implementation of road safety strategies that do not pay serious attention to pedestrians and public transport vehicles will not result in real improvement in road safety. The problem of pedestrians is much more pronounced in urban areas like Nakuru where almost 70% of traffic deaths are pedestrians. Cyclists have clogged the roads and now constitute a significant share of urban mobility.

This study, therefore, sought to find out the underlying tensions within the existing policy. The study is guided by the fact that there are still significant violations of children rights despite the existence of sufficient legal instruments in place. The purpose of this study was to: establish social factors affecting implementation of children rights policies in Nakuru County, Kenya. The theories guiding the study were; human life protection and dignity theory, and human well-being theory. The study used a case study research design. The population of the study was all the 112 members working with the children allied organizations in Nakuru County. Total population sampling was used to select all the members working with the children allied organizations in Nakuru County. To ensure validity of the instruments, the research instruments were given to the experts from the Faculty of Education and Community Studies for content validation. Piloting of the questionnaires was done in one children allied organization in Kericho County. Cronbach's alpha was used to test reliability of the questionnaires to be used in the study and a correlation coefficient of 0.782 was established and considered acceptable. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean scores and multinomial regression analysis by the use of SPSS software. The study findings will be beneficial to the government and children policy practitioners as they may be used to formulate and implement better policies for the children.
