Speed humps placed on Windhoek’s Western Bypass highway 10 days ago endanger motorists using the high-speed road, activist Michael Amushelelo argued in the Windhoek High Court on Friday.
Amushelelo made the argument during the hearing of an urgent application with which he rushed to the court in an attempt to have newly installed speed humps removed from the Western Bypass road.
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 the court to declare the installation of speed humps on the Western Bypass road in the vicinity of Windhoek’s Northern Industrial Area to be unlawful, not in compliance with the Road Traffic and Transport Act of 1999 and a public hazard.
He is also asking the court to compel the minister of works and transport and the Roads Authority (RA) to immediately, or within 24 hours to remove the speed humps on the Western Bypass, after the court has issued such an order.
