The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has urged motorists plying the Nairobi-Nakuru highway to maintain lane discipline to reduce traffic congestion.

In a brief statement on Saturday morning, the Authority attributed the traffic snarl-up witnessed between Kariandusi and Nakuru to overlapping by some drivers.

While urging motorists to adhere to traffic regulations, KeNHA encouraged motorists to use alternative routes, including the Gilgil-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet route and the Flyover-Njambini-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet. "We are experiencing a snarl-up on the A8 between Kariandusi and Nakuru that lasted all night due to overlapping and driver indiscipline.

Motorists are advised to stop overlapping, as this will assist our teams and the police to restore order," KeNHA announced.
