Court ruling on Western Bypass speed humps delayed
A ruling on an urgent application with which activist Michael Amushelelo rushed to the Windhoek High Court in an attempt to have newly installed speed humps removed from Windhoek’s Western Bypass road is scheduled to be delivered at the end of June. Judge Gabriel Komboni postponed the delivery of his ruling on Amushelelo’s urgent application to 30 June after hearing oral arguments from Amushelelo and government lawyer Wilhelm Amukoto on Friday afternoon. Amushelelo is asking
A Windhoek High Court decision regarding the removal of newly installed speed humps on the Western Bypass road has been postponed until June 30. Activist Michael Amushelelo filed an urgent application seeking to have the speed humps declared unlawful and removed, arguing they are a public hazard and violate traffic laws. Amushelelo contends that speed humps are designed for low-speed urban areas, not high-speed national highways, where they pose a risk of accidents. He also seeks an interdict to prevent future installations on national roads. In response, the government, through lawyer Wilhelm Amukoto, argued that the concept of a "highway" as described by Amushelelo does not legally exist in Namibia. Minister of transport Veikko Nekundi also questioned which specific traffic act provision was violated. The court heard oral arguments from both sides before postponing the ruling.
The court's decision will determine the legality and future of speed humps on national roads in Namibia, impacting road safety and traffic management.
