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.

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?

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.

How do cars causetraffic jam on our roads? 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!

Jubilee government came to power & Baba's dreams died a natural death. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

You live in Kilimani and work in Westlands with kids at Rusinga School. During school term you travel up to Kawangware to drop the kids and then to Westie. During holidays you just travel to Westie. During school term you will spend more time on the road than during holiday so you will add to the congestion. When things become too much, you buy an extra car for school rounds adding even more to the jam.
