Rush Hour at the Globe

Context of the observation

This picture shows the morning rush hour at the Globe. Lots of matatus and few private cars try to get inside the city but get stuck on the three lanes of the Globe. Pedestrians arriving from the outer areas of Nairobi get off their matatus and continue working to their jobs to avoid being late because of the traffic.

Location

Globe Cinema Roundabout, Nairobi
Kenya

What is the reason for the jam? Is it because of few lanes or do stopping matatus cause waiting periods?

At which point do cars and matatus get stuck? For how long are people stuck, when does the jam clear up and how?
