Visibilility along Jogoo and Mombasa Roads was also seriously affected by the fog.
Motorists driving towards the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) are advised to be careful on the roads.
They are cautioned to slow down as driving at normal speeds in foggy weather can get dangerous.
Drivers are also advised to used low-beam headlights to ensure other drivers see them rather than high-beam lights as fog consists of tiny water droplets that spread and reflect light.
Most importantly, motorists are advised to focus on the road entirely due to the poor visibility.
