Kinshasa deploys mixed brigade to ease traffic
A new joint unit will regulate traffic and enforce road rules on main routes, including the airport road.
Kinshasa authorities launched a special operation on Monday, November 9, to improve traffic flow in the capital. A mixed brigade, comprising members of the provincial government, the National Road Safety Commission, and the National Service, under the coordination of the National Police of Congo, will patrol major roads. This team's mission is to manage traffic and ensure strict adherence to the Highway Code.
Particular attention will be given to the expressways leading to N'djili International Airport, where certain vehicle types are now prohibited. Drivers who violate this restriction will face penalties according to current regulations. The operation aims to reduce congestion and enhance urban mobility within Kinshasa.
The mixed brigade's deployment is part of a broader effort by Congolese authorities to tackle the city's persistent traffic challenges. The specific measures, including the airport road restrictions, are intended to create a more efficient transportation system for residents.
