*Friday Traffic Tips for Kenyan Motorists* It's Friday — a day known for early exits, weekend getaways, and unusually heavy traffic from midday onward. Here are smart, practical tips to help you beat the jam and stay stress-free: *Leave Early, Arrive Easier:* Morning traffic tends to peak between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM. Beat the rush by hitting the road earlier, especially if heading into the CBD or using major highways. *Avoid Midday Movement:* From 12 PM onward, many workers and students start heading home early. If your trip isn't urgent, delay travel to late afternoon or evening when traffic tapers off. *Bypass the CBD:* Use Nairobi’s bypasses — Southern, Eastern, and Northern — to avoid central gridlocks. They may be longer in distance, but often faster in time. *Smart Navigation:* Use apps like Waze or Google Maps with live updates to re-route around traffic in real-time. Trust the detours — they often save more time than waiting it out. *Choose Parking Wisely:* In town? Opt for designated secure parking. Avoid illegal spots that may get you clamped or towed — especially on Fridays when enforcement is tight. *Stay Plugged In:* Before heading out, check traffic updates from NaMATA, KeNHA, or live radio traffic reports. A few seconds of planning can save hours. *Fuel Up:* Long waits = high fuel use. Make sure your tank isn’t running low before getting into heavy traffic. Lesson to Learn: Planning ahead is the difference between a smooth ride and being stuck in a jam. Be alert, drive safely, and respect road rules. If you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately to the police via 999. *To join the SGA SECURITY UPDATES WhatsApp Channel, use the link -* https://rb.gy/er9tn9
