Police officers along Nakuru Naivasha Highway helping ease traffic/NANCY AGUTU


The police have made considerable efforts in mitigating the heavy traffic flow along the Nakuru-Naivasha highway that stranded thousands since Friday.

The police have been deployed to key points, with officers working hard to ensure the flow of vehicles and clearing stalled trucks.

The movement is still slow but at least travellers are relieved the visible steps are being taken to ensure normalcy.

Authorities have asked people to be patient, while they work to resolve the situation, and motorists should not exacerbate the problem by flouting the rules of the road.

Meanwhile, hawkers and residents in nearby localities have made a business out of the gridlock by selling food, water, and other essentials to the stranded travelers.

Makeshift stalls dotted the highway, bringing rescue to travelers stranded for several hours.
