Travelers praise police for successfully managing heavy traffic on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway during the festive season. A consistent police presence and multi-agency operations, including NTSA and mobile courts, have regulated vehicle speeds and prevented historical congestion. Commuters noted significant improvements, with officers actively patrolling and instilling discipline, although some frustrations arose from hiked fares.

Police have launched a new strategy to prevent traffic congestion on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway this Christmas Eve. Officers are deployed every three kilometers in notorious sections like Kimende and Kinungi, aiming to enforce rules and prevent overlapping. This initiative follows years of severe festive season gridlock, though PSV operators are facing challenges with fare hikes and route changes due to strict enforcement.
