The installation of speed humps on Windhoek’s Western Bypass highway has come under scrutiny, with Landless People’s Movement chief whip Dawid Eigub questioning whether engineering expertise was sidelined in favour of political directives.

Questions have been raised regarding the recent installation of speed humps on Windhoek's Western Bypass highway. Landless People's Movement chief whip Dawid Eigub has challenged Works and Transport Minister Veikko Nekundi, suggesting that political influence may have overridden engineering expertise in this decision. Eigub highlighted concerns from road users and professionals about increased travel times, congestion, and operational costs due to the speed humps. He also questioned the absence of traffic engineering studies and the potential for accidents, contrasting the highway's design as a high-capacity corridor with the new traffic-calming measures. The lawmaker further inquired about the consultation process with the Roads Authority and the possibility of removing the humps if they prove unjustified.
This situation highlights a potential conflict between political decision-making and technical expertise in public infrastructure projects, impacting public safety and efficiency.
