The Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) has given a travel advisory following the high number of people travelling upcountry for the festive season.
The December holiday has witnessed huge traffic across the country, as many people rush upcountry or to the cities to enjoy the festive season with their loved ones.
"The Authority has observed a surge in traffic volumes along the Rironi-Naivasha-Nakuru(A8) Road and the Rironi-Mai Mahiu-Naivasha(A85) Road," stated KENHA in a press release.
The authority urged motorists plying the mentioned routes to remain patient and observe lane discipline for their safety as well as that of other road users.
Furthermore, KENHA assured road users that in collaboration with the traffic police, there would be necessary guidance and traffic control to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
On the other hand, KENHA provided alternative routes it encouraged motorists to use when headed to or from Nakuru.
Among routes suggested include Naivasha-Njabini-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet, Nakuru or Flyover-Njabini-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet, and a third option of the Ngong-Suswa-Narok-Mau Narok-Nakuru route.
As such, the authority encouraged drivers to be cautious while on the roads as some areas are experiencing heavy rainfall.
