Our roads can’t cope with traffic: Mhona

TRANSPORT minister Felix Mhona has told Parliament that the country’s road network needs to be expanded as the initial infrastructure designs were meant for less than 500 vehicles before the traffic volume ballooned to the current 1,5 million vehicles.

Mhona said this on Wednesday during the National Assembly’s  question-and-answer session.

“You can actually see that the roads which we are talking about now are not designed to carry 1,5 million vehicles, which then calls for the immediate need to expand our road infrastructure,” Mhona said.
