The Kenya Urban Roads Authority is in the process of reducing traffic snarl ups in the city by automating traffic management.

This will be done through the Intelligence Traffic System that will replace the 100 roundabouts in Nairobi with signalised intersections that will be under monitoring of computerised traffic management center.

Director General Silas Kinoti has said the Sh1.4 billion project will get into operation in the year 2020.

The county recently reigned in on Matatu operations that contribute heavily to traffic within the CBD.

Two years ago, City Hall spent Sh400m to install CCTV cameras to manage the traffic but after the installation, they were reported as nonfunctional.
