✍🏿TRAFFIC FLOW CHANGES AT THE NKUMBA TRAFFIC LIGHTS SECTION 🚥
In response to recent road crashes at the Nkumba traffic lights🚦section along the Kampala—Entebbe Highway, we have conducted a thorough technical inspection of the area to implement measures aimed at preventing future crashes.
Starting today, we will introduce interim safety measures to enhance traffic flow and improve safety for all road users.
❗️The current setup includes two traffic signals positioned approximately 100m apart, operating on different cycles. This configuration has been identified as a safety risk as motorists are more likely to see the second traffic signal before the first one.
Additionally, the first set of signals is situated after a crest, creating a short sight-stopping distance for vehicles traveling above 50 km/hr.
To mitigate this risk, we will be removing the first set of traffic signals on the Kampala side and closing the median opening with jersey barriers as a temporary solution. This continuous median barrier will also prevent pedestrian crossovers and facilitate uninterrupted flow of traffic at the junction.
🚘 As a result of these changes, vehicles from Kampala towards Entebbe will no longer be able to turn at this location. Instead, right-turning traffic will be re-directed to the next junction with traffic lights, thereby reducing the risk of accidental turns at this section.
Motorists from Entebbe that were previously making right turn to connect to Nkumba University area will now need to proceed to the Mpala interchange, where they can turn around and return to Nkumba.
⛩️For long-term safety improvements, we are also proposing the construction of a footbridge at this location to ensure safe pedestrian crossing without interfering with vehicular traffic flow.
