Smart Traffic Lights: Kenya’s Answer to Roundabout Deadlocks

Uhuru Roundabout Revolution

Kenya’s first solar-powered AI traffic lights:

  • Matatu Clustering: Extends green time when 5+ matatus approach.
  • Pedestrian Safeguards: Crosswalk activation during lulls.

Results:

  • 46% fewer accidents
  • Saved 1,200+ driver-hours daily

“We’re scaling to 30 roundabouts by 2026.”Felix Ombongi
