The Inspector General of Police has deployed reinforcements, including a police helicopter, to tackle a major traffic snarl-up on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway.

The National Police Service (NPS) confirmed that general duty officers from all stations along the highway have been dispatched to assist the Traffic Police Unit in clearing the congestion and ensuring a smooth flow of traffic.

“A police chopper from the National Police Service Airwing has been sent to support the Traffic Police Unit in managing the situation,” NPS said in a statement.

The NPS has appealed to motorists to adhere to traffic regulations, including observing speed limits, ensuring their vehicles are roadworthy, and avoiding overlapping, which significantly contributes to traffic congestion.
