Not sure if this has been asked before, but how do schools increase or cause the massive traffic jams.

Today the cops at Westie must be very hungry. The way they pounce on those cars when there is traffic...wacha tu. They must be thinking hard on how to maintain their cash flow in the view of the new changes. I saw they have now camped at the stage just next to delta plaza wakitegeategea.

[quote=maka][quote=FundamentAli]It took me 13 mins
My people perish due to lack of kowledge: I was t use Mombasa road, I diverted to south C and emerged from Tmall on Mbagathi way and via Valley Road i was in town through Kenyatta avenue- 34 mins the whole manouvre. I am not quite sure if it's because some schools are closed for the April Holz in the nairobi west South c area

Where did you get the knowledge?How can I know,the shortest/fastest alternatives from point A to B?

Have you ever seen those huge Makini, Riara and Strathmore buses? Now imagine how many each of the private schools in Nai pours in our roads daily. Further, there is a huge percentage of 'middle class' who only use their cars during school days so as to drop and pick their kids at school. Finally, there are those kids who are dropped to school by their family drivers. When the school closes, all those vehicles are off the road.

Using a very narrow example, I estimate about 500 cars go up and down James Gichuru to drop kids at St Austin...and another one near the river whose name I forget. These parents just up and head directly to work when its holidays, leaving James Gichuru freer by tens, possibly hundreds of cars during certain morning and evening hours. Extrapolate to cover the whole city and one aspect of the picture emerges.

have never understood, might be the rate of parking cars at their destination is too slow compared to normal movement on the roads.
Might be wrong but school buses are not that many, not as many as say matatus.

On and around James Gichuru - St Marys, Strathmore, Shani, Kianda, Braeburn, St Austins, Madari, Nairobi Jaffery, Rusinga etc.... when schools close, the road just clears
Lord, thank you!
