Some Truck had stalled on Mbagathi way and LA Rd was a parking lot!!!!

Last night was a nightmare...hours to get to Westlands.

Got up this morning, and found Chiromo Rd full jammed...

When will this end?

I empathize with the stories in this thread. I can't imagine spending 3 hours to then 3 or 2 hours from work daily and I live within the same City. That's shocking.

Truly overrated! I wish we could move to the countryside...

I don't think this is the solution....the problem is pretty straight forward too many cars going into a town which is also very small....widening the roads will just make traffic move faster further outside town but when gettin into town there will be a pile up...Psv,s should never come anywhere near town...we should have another system to get Kenyans into the CBD...

Solution to this mess is multifaceted;
Those who can move closer to their work place do so [i did].
Ban all the mushrooming learning institutions competing for space from town.
Use Mass Public Transport [don't give the crap of them being shit].
Use the train if you can.
Once the roads are expanded ,have special lanes for buses [any private car driven on those lanes to be shot on sight].
Change our economy/mindset to have different working/schooling hours.
Change our bus/mat routes [no route should end at the CBD.
Local authorities to enter PPPs for automated parking silos.
Decentralize gov't services [e.g land, immigration. Good to know Huduma Centers are addressing that] emergency services like firefighting etc etc.
City planners to come up with special zones/facilities for motor vehicle & their services, jua kali artisans, carpentry, hospitality, health,education, financials etc in all the city districts to try keeping people in their districts.

Etc etc.

Otherwise watu wakae kwa barabara.

And then , , , , , , , , ,

Take president Moi to Uhuru park for public questioning, he messed this country

This will never work unless public transport is taken over by the government.

Anything GOK runs will collapse and fail. We are doomed!

.....roads have been built in villages ,10k Kms ear marked for next 3 years.

Nairobi is still stuck with roads of 1963,surely someone should fast track this.
While accepting that even other countries have challenges with traffic,focus should be on the main cities of Nairobi ,Mombasa ,eldoret,Nakuru and kisumu ( for regional balance) which now have endless traffic jams.
It's priorities which are challenging.

Start with enforcing law and order on roads

Then
......fast track southern bypass( ole sereni to langata.
...build extra lane eastern by pass
...fast track Limuru road ,runda to Ngong road,rough road already there

..fast track out ring road



...fast track waiyaki way 4 lanes was we wait for new uhuru highway

..fast track Ngong road upto to Ngong town!!
...fast track jogoo road

......Fast track dual carriage way to rongai

...Fast track dual carriage way to Karen from galleria

...build good road from Karen to kiserian, joining to isinya .road half done

Then light rail way,buses, etc etc



There are countries which don't allow certain number plates on some days,others convert dual carriage ways in the evening,others still digging under ground tunnels for train even with developed infrastructure ...so basically the point is priority. ...Gok
Like insecurity,you need to start sorting it today to improve in 10 years time.
Sitting on the sakes systems of 10 years like a rocking chair does no good
