Improvement of Junctions
Twenty one (21)road junctions have been identified for improvement along the
arterial roads to improve traffic flow. These include, Ngong Road, Argwings
Kodhek Road, Haile- Selassie Avenue, Jogoo Road, Mombasa Road, Langata Road
and Kiambu Road. Contracts have already been awarded to improve junctions by
constructing side lanes to divert some of the traffic from using roundabouts.
Already, implementation is taking place along Ngong road at Muchai Drive.
Removal of Roundabouts
We are addressing traffic movement along the arterial road, A104 (Waiyaki WayUhuru Highway-Mombasa Road). There are 6 roundabouts where 70 percent of
traffic builds up during rush hours thereby hindering smooth flow along the busy
stretch.
In order to improve the flow by about 30-40 per cent, five (5) roundabouts will be
removed and substituted with signalized intersections. The affected roundabouts
include the intersection between University Way and Uhuru Highway, Kenyatta
Avenue and Uhuru Highway, Haile-Selassie Avenue with Uhuru Highway, Bunyala
and Lusaka roundabouts. The roundabout at Westlands will be configured to avoid
right turning movements and traffic redirected accordingly.
MEDIUM-TERM (6months +)
In the Medium- term, improvements will be made to expand the road network
various corridors in and out of the city. Indeed works in some cases are ongoing
and will be completed soon these include:
Rapid Transit (BRT) commuter rail and Light Rail Transit (LRT).
