‘Namibian drivers are the real road hazards’ – expert

Renthia Kaimbi

Road safety expert and activist Felix Tjozongoro has said public frustration with the installation of speed humps on the Western Bypass is misguided and that the real crisis lies in Namibian driver behaviour rather than the traffic-calming measures themselves.

Tjozongoro dismissed claims that the speed humps are improperly placed or unlawful, asserting that much of the outcry stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what the Western Bypass actually is under Namibian law.

He pointed out that while the road displays green B1 markers, it does not feature the official freeway start sign, which depicts two lanes passing under an overpass.
