Guys heading to the airport on outering road are finished.Those on train from embakasi wafanye tizi.
In addition to being stuck on traffic,the ugly train has derailed at tajmall closing the road completely.
Human traffic from the derailed train,bodabodas,mathogothanio galore.
Now waiting for cows to get up..
Now at makutano junction looking for a way to jkia.
Thats why its always good to wake up early...used that road at 10 to 6...traffic was already heavy. possunt quia posse videntur

Thats why its always good to wake up early...used that road at 10 to 6...traffic was already heavy. Was at JKIA at 5am this morning ready to take my flight. Seems I luckily missed all the drama on the roads. And the way I had complained that the flight was too early! Thank goodness I accepted to take it. Now safely and punctually where I should be.

Is the obvious paying fines of 2k? Are people sticking to 50 KPH because they will be fined? Just because car pooling works elsewhere does not mean it will work here. Carpooling is just one of many solutions that need to be explored. The trick is to decongest the highway. removal of trucks did it, what else can be done?

Do they penalize those that do not want to car pool, every city has specific dynamics, you have to be realistic and work with such dynamics.Again I said it would work in 9-5 work places, Not everyone is a banker or a lawyer, an accountant can carry work home at 3:50pm and use VPN to complete his or her work. De congesting roads is simple : 1. Road etiquette 2. proper road design , why have junctions etc, case in point, while they were busy using explosives on thika road,would it have not been simpler to put a well lit underpass at drive inn? The traffic that that causes especially outbound evening) as inbound morning is determined by other factors. The "big cities" also have trains bringing people into the cities from as far as 2 hours away travelling at > 120k.p.h ie Nakuru distance equivalent approx. They also try to move government services like driving license, PIN sijui what, away from the CBD to residential areas, shopping malls, post offices and online. Trains cost money but hizi zingine do not cost alot, and they are not myopic. Why are we putting changaa drums all over the place and not exploring things like these?

The removal of the Westlands roundabout, for example, has ended a long-running traffic choke point.
Mombasa Road is a work in progress but the diversion of the trucks into the southern bypass will surely help.
The problem with Kenyans is that we are world class complainers. We complain when the authorities donโt act and fall over ourselves criticising them when they do something.
As one who has assailed the Governor for his inertia in the past, I now doff the cap to him for at least trying something.
Interventions like a mass transit public transport system will take years to implement.
If a few tweaks can at least help the traffic move along a little faster, they are certainly worth doing.
