In a bid to navigate the bustling holiday season, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a cautionary alert to motorists traveling on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway, specifically addressing a burgeoning traffic snarl-up near Rironi that commenced on Friday morning.
The surge in travel, attributed to the Christmas festivities, has led to a significant increase in congestion along this crucial highway.
In response, KeNHA is urging motorists to exercise lane discipline and refrain from overlapping, emphasizing that such actions exacerbate the existing congestion.
“We advise motorists to maintain lane discipline and avoid overlapping to prevent further congestion. They can also explore alternative routes,” stated KeNHA officials.
To tackle the escalating situation, traffic police have been mobilized to manage and regulate traffic flow on the affected stretch of the highway.
The collaborative efforts aim to ease the congestion and ensure the safety of commuters during this peak travel period.
Images circulating online depict some motorists resorting to overlapping and creating makeshift paths far from the main highway in an attempt to navigate through the standstill traffic.
As holiday travelers face unexpected delays, KeNHA emphasizes the importance of adherence to traffic rules and encourages the exploration of alternative routes to mitigate the impact of the congestion on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway.
Authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to maintain order and safety on the roads during this festive season.
