    "content": "The first one is on the discussion that we should not include rural roads. We are talking about the future, space and having land in place. If we included rural roads at this stage, then we would have catered for future designated service lanes for rural roads as they become the future urban centres. I agree and support the amendment to include KeRRA roads. Secondly, if this amendment is to hold substance, then the last statement in the initial Motion which looks at urban roads and highways should also include rural roads. I have noticed that that portion has been left out while the initial Motion had it. Thirdly, having these designated service lanes in the rural areas will first serve the pedestrians. Many rural areas do not even have space for pedestrians. We can save those areas for future conversion into different other service needs. The challenge of manning and efficiently using service lanes as we see it in urban areas is the habit of poor driving that we have on our roads. As the Motion moves to a Bill, the whole aspect of road manners and good driving on the highways should also be captured to make sure that those designated lanes purposely remain for those services that they are intended to give."
