An activist in Windhoek argues that speed humps installed on the Western Bypass highway pose a risk to drivers. The activist, Michael Amushelelo, filed an urgent application in court to have the humps removed. The court postponed its decision until 30 June after hearing arguments from both sides. Amushelelo claims the installation of the humps is unlawful and violates traffic laws. He also demands that the government remove the humps within 24 hours if the court rules in his favor. Additionally, he seeks an interdict to prevent further installation of speed humps on national highways. Amushelelo argues that the humps were placed without public consultation and are not in line with engineering standards. He claims that the humps create a dangerous situation for drivers on a high-speed road. The minister of works and transport has responded to the allegations in an affidavit.
The case highlights concerns over road safety and the potential risks of installing speed humps on high-speed roads without proper consultation or engineering review.
