...this is a very big stupid issue.

Wametoa traffic police? Their job should not be to control traffic, but to look out for "overlappers" and other traffic offenders. Watu wafuate sheria za barabara! Driving will be so much fun if we all civilize our driving mentality.

How I pray we could give this plan a chance.It was critisized even before it started.

Today is day 1 and it was definitely going to have a hitch.By afternoon a few lessons will have been learnt and improvements planned.

Tusiwe watu wa kupinga everything and anything.

Its working in some and guys are happy so lets give those that are not working a chance.
Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

It took me 13 minutes to the office today. This normally take 30 to 45 minutes. Roads were clear on Riverside, Westland, Uhuru highway, Arboretum and State House roads.They need to do some construction of a few turns. This will definitely help at the end of the day.

Explain what you mean.
I think their is a U-turn hapo nyayo, at the former Bunyala Rounda.
Why do trhey need to go all the way to Pizaa inn?

I know adult literacy leaners understand better with illustrations. You cant do a right turn there. Refer to the map elsewhere. ..



There is a U turn at the Bunyala roundabout. I used it yesterday.

It took me 2 hrs 45 minutes from home to work, it was a nightmare...in the evening it will probably be worse. There should be another right turn between Bunyala Rd and Nyayo Stadium, it doesn't make sense directing all vehicles heading to town, Upper Hill, Langata, karen & Rongai towards the South B fly over.

I can't even begin to imagine how the traffic will be when they decide to close the roads for the President's Motorcade ama Obama akikuja.

The traffic lights at Westlands are still working and some drivers are stopping there to give way to no one.

There is a U-turn hapo nyayo stadium on just after the Nakumatt, please keep on your far right to get the right U-turn.

By the way I think the plan was to erect Cross Junctions, I havent seen anything close to it so far!
But I may be wrong, but I am right.

And what will they be going to do at the fly over when they can drive down using the usual roads towards uhuru highway? Or did the motorists get themselves confused and used the wrong routes or did you mean vehicles going to those places from town? But still, if you are going to upperhill, why would you be going to South B fly over when you can do a Uturn at the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout (near toyota)?

@Funda, I think many people have not returned to the city yet. And schools are closed. So, this is the right time for Kidero to experiment and adjust and improve. He has a whole two weeks to do that.

@Alpha, Funda in my friend's language is an insult if applied to a human. Please take pain to address him in full.
