    "content": "THAT, aware that the capacity of highways and urban roads in the country is increasingly unable to cope with ever-increasing vehicle traffic, particularly in cities and urban centres resulting into traffic congestion and snarl-ups; noting that these traffic congestions have resulted into serious inconveniences and wastage to motorists, heavy economic losses in terms of work hours and fuel consumption in traffic jams; concerned that these roads and highways lack dedicated lanes for use by emergency vehicles such as police, ambulances and fire engines and other such vehicles in emergency situations; cognizant of the fact that lack of dedicated lanes have many times led to loss of lives when emergency vehicles are not able to get smooth passage due to traffic congestion, this House urges the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure through the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, Kenya Rural Roads Authority and the Kenya National Highways Authority to provide for service lanes in future road design plans and designate service lanes for emergency vehicles along the urban roads and highways throughout the country."
