Activist fails with attempt to have highway speed humps removed

Activist Michael Amushelelo’s attempt to get a court order for the removal of speed humps installed on the Western Bypass road in Windhoek has failed.

Judge Gabriel Komboni dismissed Amushelelo’s urgent application against the minister of works and transport, Veikko Nekundi, and the Roads Authority (RA) about the speed humps in the Windhoek High Court on Friday.

Amushelelo was asking the court to declare the installation of speed humps on the Western Bypass road in the vicinity of Windhoek’s Northern Industrial Area unlawful, not in compliance with the Road Traffic and Transport Act of 1999 and a public hazard.
