Kisumu, a major city in Kenya, is implementing intelligent transport systems (ITS) to address long-standing traffic congestion. The new system is already demonstrating positive results, improving traffic flow at key intersections and enhancing pedestrian safety. Previously, the city faced daily challenges with confusion, congestion, and dangerous road crossings. The ITS utilizes technology to optimize traffic light timing and provide safer pedestrian crossings. This initiative marks a significant step towards modernizing Kisumu’s infrastructure and improving the daily commute for residents. The changes are noticeable, with motorists experiencing smoother traffic and pedestrians able to cross roads with increased confidence.
