The road consists of two two-lane carriageways, and like Jomo Kenyatta Avenue, a central median of approximately in width, along which flowers and shrubs are often planted. Moi Avenue is known for two pairs of giant aluminium elephant tusks crossing the dual carriageway. The tusks were commissioned in commemoration of a visit to Mombasa
Mombasa Air Services traded Cooper Motor Corporation. To provide capital and purchase larger, more reliable turbo-prop aircraft to operate scheduled services, the firm was sold to CMC who subsequently sold to the Sameer Group and the operations moved to Nairobi. The purchase of turbo-prop aircraft did not occur at that time, and the start up of domestic scheduled tourist services from Mombasa to the game parks was delayed until the nineties. At December 2010, this airline is out of service but Mombasa Air Safari is now under the same ownership as the original Mombasa Air Services, and continues to operate from Moi Airport
