This article deals with the system of transport in Namibia, both public and private. == Road == Namibia's road network is regarded as one of the best on the continent; road construction and maintenance adheres to international standards. The country's more than roads are administered by the ''Roads Authority'', a state-owned enterprise established by Act #17 of 1999. Due to low traffic volumes the majority of roads are not tarred. The distribution of road surfaces is: * standard bitumen road * low-volume bitumen road. These roads have the same base layer as gravel roads but are covered with a thin layer of bitumen to reduce maintenance cost and dust formation. * standard gravel road, covered with imported gravel. * earth-graded road. These roads are built by clearing the vegetation and blading the surface. Compaction is achieved by the traffic using the road. Some of these roads are not graded at all but just consist of earth or sand tracks separated by vegetation. These tracks are in use where a daily usage of less than five vehicles is expected. * salt road. These roads consist of concentrated salt water and gypsum-rich material. They are only built near the Atlantic coast inside the mist belt. The major highways in Namibia are: * B1 from Noordoewer (South African border) to Oshikango (Angolan border), 1694 km * B2 from Walvis Bay to Okahandja, 285 km * B3 from Nakop (South African border) to Grünau, 324 km * B4 from Lüderitz to Keetmanshoop, 351 km * B6 from Windhoek to Buitepos (Botswana border), 335 km * B8 from Otavi to Katima Mulilo (Zambian border), 837 km there are about 270,000 cars registered in Namibia, almost half of them in the capital Windhoek. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transport in Namibia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
