Traffic court relocated
A dedicated traffic court has been established at the corner of Sam Nujoma Drive and Bismark Street and will deal specifically with traffic-related offences and court cases.
Therefore as of yesterday, the Windhoek Magistrate's Court situated at Lüderitz Street will no longer be dealing with any traffic fines, traffic offence cases and other enquiries dealing with any traffic-related matters.
According to the Office of the Judiciary, the traffic court was specifically created in an attempt to alleviate these types of cases at the Windhoek Magistrate's Court.
The traffic court is a direct result of the concerted efforts of the City of Windhoek, the justice and works ministries and the Office of Judiciary.
The premises houses two courtrooms, a cash hall and an enquiries desk as well as offices for the prosecutors and magistrates.
“This is a milestone collaboration in the joint pursuit of addressing the violation of traffic laws and the case backlog derived from it.
It will bring about a huge relief in respect of case load in the magisterial district of Windhoek and as such, is to be commended,” said Yvette Hüsselmann, spokesperson of the Office of the Judiciary.
An administrative team at the new premises is ready to assist with all enquiries as well as to receive payment for traffic fines. In addition, a competent court team is ready to hear all court cases emanating from traffic offences.
