Namibia boasts best roads in Africa
NEWS IN SHORT
Namibia has once again been recognised for having the best quality road infrastructure in Africa, according to a 2024 survey by global data platform Statista.
The Roads Authority (RA) announced that Namibia achieved an impressive index rating of 5.57 out of 7, securing the top spot on the continent. Egypt and Benin followed closely with scores of 5.53 and 5.00, respectively.
The RA attributes this achievement to years of dedicated work in constructing, maintaining and innovating road transport infrastructure across the country.
“Namibia has remarkably improved road quality, safety and accessibility. Our roads now set a standard for design and sustainability, supporting the safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services nationwide," RA CEO Conrad Lutombi said.
Lutombi emphasised the need for continued investment to sustain Namibia’s top ranking and appealed to the public to help protect Namibia's road infrastructure, highlighting ongoing issues with littering, vandalism and unauthorised construction within road reserves.
