For the last one week I swear something has been going wrong.I leave work at around 8.30pm and I just dont understand how there can be traffic jam at that hour!There was jam even yesterday at 9pm....

Is it just me or is the city getting really unbearable?Is any road closed some place?

I agree - can't understand whats cutting, and why there should be a jam at 9pm.

The longest I stayed in a jam was on Msa Rd from 9pm to 2am.
Yes, till 2 am. I have never understood exactly what happened and will clearly be seeking an explanation from St Peter at the Pearly Gates when the time comes. Some Kenyans are enterprising and did quick buisiness on that night - carrying a huge battery on a wheel barrow and restarting cars whose batteries had conked out for 50/=.

The biggest contibuter to the snarl up on Tom mboya and Murang'a road is the big Potholes right in the middle of the Globe round about right outside the entry to the Chinese site. It slows the traffic outflow on Thika road.

Univeristy way slip road closed. Very important road. Bunyala road expansion and a burst water pipe at the Globe roundabout that the city engineers have been unable to fix.

The city buggers & traffic police need to do something urgently!It's getting crazy.....we are headed the Lagos traffic jam way. I think I will get a chopper soon!

Imagine being sold a house in South C ati "It's located 4mins drive from the City Centre".....haha!They should add...."On Sunday mornings only!"

I share your frustration. The jam has become infuriating to say the least. Mpaka Sunday nowadays is no longer such a safe day. And sometimes its small things.... like the trench that was dug near Central police. Kazi iliisha but nobody fixing the road! Madness!

Kweli! Kwanza the guys selling houses hapo mlolongo say that it's '10 minutes from Nyayo stadium'. Mostly true - coz with moderate traffic you can be near there in ten minutes. Near enough to see Nyayo stadium, but passing it could take another 2 hrs. :)

Poleni jameni.....The closest i have come to a jam is when the a neighbors donkey lay on the road and refused to give way to the bijuti...I am such a lucky idiot.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
