KRB has developed a definition of the National and County roads together with a proposal on road classification which delineates roads between the National and County governments. The proposal is currently under discussion between the National and County governments. ALLOCATION OF KRB FUND Road Network Condition The Road Inventory and Condition Survey (RICS) undertaken by Roads Department of MoR between 2000 and 2003 indicated that about 19% of the classified network (64,500 km) was in good condition, 49% in fair condition and the remaining 32% in poor condition. A quick visual condition survey done in 2006 for the classified road network indicated that the condition of the network had improved with 27% in poor condition and 73% of roads was in good or in fair condition.
