Was at University Way before 7 am and it was already choked. I wonder how bad it will get at 8 am?

I think this jam is caused by the Cops to protest to Kidero about their pending removal/redundancy from 1st March 2014

I am behind on that, kwani kuna plans to rid the city of traffic cops ? If that's the case then it will be a disaster.


Can't see any disaster there. A cop kept us on Haile Selassie avenue near Wakulima the other day for thirty minutes inspite of the fact that the traffic lights were working. Why then don't we donate those lighting poles to scrap metal dealers who love them so much if we have no use for traffic lights? Waende!!!

Boss it will be a disaster unless we have tight rules that will ensure that guys dont jump the lights....we have some uncouth,indisciplined drivers out there...the lights are red someone behind you is honking and flashing his lights.


I think a cop with a motorcyle should be stationed at each of the roundabouts/junctions with the traffic lights to monitor and arreast those who jump the traffic lights


Just make it painful enough just like we have made drunk driving.

If the govt does not make some very hard decisions, Nbi will be one big mess. The problem has been exported to other towns including Thika, Meru, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret n the worst..... Mombasa.

You need to realize that the biggest cause of the PSV mess is traffic Jam. Deal with this, half the PSV problems will be gone- there will be no more overlapping, fare hikes etc. In my rural, and the many rural towns I have been to, PSV transport is very well organized. Ever noted how orderly these guys become in the dead of the night when traffic is near zero?

Several Indian cities have more than 3 times the population of Nairobi, with massive numbers of bikes, tuk tuks, pedestrians n numerous tiny cars.......how comes traffic seems to flow almost continuously?

1. Redesigning our roads as a matter of urgency......
2. Discouraging use of private cars.

1.Replace roundabouts and junctions with overpasses and underpasses
2.Synchronize the traffic lights and traffic control.
3.Make driving personal cars to the city expensive
4.Construct more bus stops on the road to avoid psvs picking and dropping passengers in the middle of the road.
5.Improve/modernize the railway commuter services within Nbi
6.Devolve employers to the countiessmile

I doubt overpass and underpasses will help decongest.
The only solution is rail and making busses. Making public transport reliable and efficient like in Europe. I remember when I was younger the basses were scheduled and you'd at least get one every 10 mins guaranteed. Before that it was every half hour. They should create lanes that should only be used for public transport.

BBI will solve it

On this, I agree. I happened to be on Juja road recently and noticed most of the entire stretch of that road, right from Outer Ring road, has woefully inadequate bus stops, most of which can barely accomodate 2 minibuses.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
