"content": "the challenge of congestion and traffic jams. This challenge is taking a lot of our time, contributing to pollution and other factors associated with it. Traffic congestion arises when the number of vehicles plying on a road exceeds the design capacity of that road. Hon. Members will have witnessed that on the city highways in Kenya, fast moving vehicles are unable to find opportunities to overtake and must follow behind the slowest vehicles. In urban areas, severe delays are notable during peak hours and even during non-peak periods and weekends. The solution is to expand the capacity of existing roads by adding lanes as we have done on Mombasa Road. We are also upgrading Thika Road and improvement of intersection is quite crucial to improve on the public mass transit system in urban areas. This problem has been faced, not only in Kenya, but also elsewhere. It has been faced in India, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico and near us, in South Africa and many other developed countries."
