The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has suspended on-street parking along sections of Kampala Road and Jinja Road in a move aimed at improving traffic flow and enhancing safety within the Central Business District.
In a public notice issued Tuesday, KCCA said the suspension affects the stretch from the Entebbe Road junction through Kampala Road up to the Jinja Road and Yusuf Lule junction near Kitgum House.
According to the Authority, the new parking arrangement is intended to ease congestion, improve mobility and create a safer road environment for motorists and other road users within the city centre.
Motorists have now been advised to use alternative parking spaces along Station Road, Dewinton Road, Said Barre Road and Nkrumah Road.
KCCA has also encouraged drivers to utilize parking spaces within buildings and commercial premises they intend to access, as well as designated off-street parking areas including the National Theatre, Uganda House and the multi-storey parking facility along Portal Avenue.
The Authority has called on motorists to comply with the new parking directives and cooperate with enforcement officers during implementation.
KCCA says the changes form part of broader efforts to improve the efficiency of Kampala’s transport system and create a more organized and livable city.
