The Kigali City (MVK) is in plans of constructing pedestrian flyovers in the coming future. These flyovers will be located at the main round about in the city center, Kimihurura, Gisimenti and at Giporoso.
The flyovers will come as a solution for pedestrians that find difficulties in crossing these places during busy hours of the day.
This has been confirmed by Mr. Bruno Rangira in charge of information in MVK in an interview with Igihe.com.
Asked on the condition and appearance of the flyovers, Bruno Rangira could not confirm the exact picture of the infrastructure after all the study is still ongoing.
“We shall give you a full picture of the infrastructures after the study being conducted by NIGUS is complete and handed over to the city authority”.
A large number of city dwellers interviewed on the new infrastructure confirmed that once these flyovers are put in place, road accidents will drastically reduce.
An interviewee who prefered annonymity said that this will put to use ample usage of space given the increasing number of vehicles in the city center, “Someone may spend about 30minutes waiting for traffic to slow down. This delays the person from work especially during the morning hours when we are all going to work places”.
Not only will pedestrians benefit but also vehicle owners and drivers especially in time management. Ndahiro Julius another interviewee told Igihe.com, “It prevents chaos on the road because pedestrians have their own road and the follow if cars keep on moving without stopping at zebra crossings”
