The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) is planning an 18.9-kilometer road network to improve traffic flow around the new Raila Odinga Talanta International Stadium and the Bomas International Convention Centre (BICC) in Nairobi.

• The project aims to enhance traffic circulation and road capacity for both facilities.
• Key organizations involved are KURA, submitting an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report to the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
• The road network will traverse Dagoretti South, Kibra, and Lang’ata constituencies, and comes as Kenya prepares to host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in June 2027.

Motorists in Kenya are expressing frustration with the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) automated speed camera system, claiming they are being fined without adequate warning or a fair chance to dispute alleged violations.

• NTSA is facing criticism for a system that automatically detects speeding vehicles and issues penalties via SMS notifications.
• Drivers report receiving multiple fines on single journeys and question the accuracy and placement of cameras, citing unclear or missing speed limit signs, particularly on dual carriageways like Likoni Road in Nairobi.
• Concerns have been raised about the NTSA acting as complainant, regulator, enforcer, prosecutor, judge, and collector, potentially leading to a "shakedown" for revenue.

Kenyan lawmakers are backing new traffic rules aimed at protecting drivers from excessive towing fees and ensuring better accountability for impounded vehicles.

• A key proposal is to cap vehicle towing charges and hold police accountable for the safety of detained vehicles and their contents.
• The National Assembly's Transport and Infrastructure Committee, chaired by Naivasha MP George Kariuki, made these proposals while reviewing the Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
• The Bill also seeks to introduce clear timelines for vehicle detention, limiting it to a maximum of 48 hours if a photograph suffices as evidence or 14 days for investigations.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has arrested over 50 pedestrians for jaywalking during a crackdown along major Nairobi highways, specifically targeting those not using footbridges.

• Over 50 pedestrians arrested on Wednesday at the Allsops footbridge along Thika Road.
• The NTSA is conducting a three-week enforcement campaign to curb dangerous road-crossing habits.
• Offenders face charges at Milimani Law Courts and are urged to use designated crossings to avoid endangering lives and disrupting traffic.
