ASSESSING THE CAUSES OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ALONG KIAMBU ROAD - MUTHAIGA TO NORTHERN BYPASS JUNCTION
Kiambu Road links Kiambu town to Nairobi City. Due to the increasing population of Nairobi City, many people who work in Nairobi have opted to live along Kiambu Road due to availability of land and cheaper housing compared to areas closer to the city center. Along its route are residential areas such as Muthaiga North, Runda, Fourways and Thindigua. To serve this growing population, amenities such as schools e.g., Brookhouse School and hospitals e.g., AAR Hospital have been put up. There has also been growth of businesses such as shopping malls, petrol stations, car dealerships and hotels.
