Use of vehicles in Lamu Old Town is on the rise despite a ban by the county government.

The county barred the use of cars, motorcycles and bicycles in August 2015 to preserve the Lamu Old Town’s unique age-old culture and heritage, which is said to be on the verge of extinction due to “excessive westernisation”.
