Traffic

 
   
Namibia has an excellent network of tarred roads linking all major centers and gravel roads leading to farm turn-offs and smaller centers.The tarred roads are so good that you may find yourself wishing that a couple of potholes could be installed here and there so that you could know for certain that you were in Africa. However, tarred roads are kept in excellent condition and road crews appear at the first sign of any damage.

Like in South Africa Namibia has left-hand traffic, speed limits on highways is 120kmh, on rural roads 100kmh and in cities 60kmh. For your own safety and the carīs, do not go faster than 60 ot 70kmh on dust roads. A European driving license is sufficient.

Notice that the verges of roads outside of towns are cleared of bushes, trees and very tall grass. This is to give drivers a better chance of seeing animals on the side of the road. Larger antelope, particularly Kudu, are unpredictable. Drivers should keep a close eye on the side of the road and slow down at the first sign of an animal.
