Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The number of traffic lights damaged in vehicle accidents in Windhoek, has dropped with fewer than five incidents per month compared to last year, when three accidents were reported per week.<\/p>\n

City of Windhoek spokesperson Lydia Amutenya on Friday said most accidents occur at the weekends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cost of repairing a damaged traffic light depends on several factors, including the number of signals on a single traffic pole,\u201d said Amutenya.<\/p>\n

She said replacing a single traffic light can cost anywhere between N$15 000 and N$50 000, excluding labour costs.<\/p>\n

Amutenya said motorists who drive off after being involved in such traffic offences are tracked down with the assistance of the City Police\u2019s surveillance system.<\/p>\n

Additionally, when the vehicles involved in the accidents are found at the scene, the repair costs are charged to the suspect\u2019s account.<\/p>\n
