All proclamations and data regarding the road network are deposited in the data base of the RMS. Maps based on Network 6 for Namibia and District have been completed and distributed to all regional offices and head office personnel, including stakeholders. The past year saw many developments changing the road network statistics, moving from crude data to more advanced and accurate data perfecting the accuracy level of the road network. These developments require changes in the databases for strategic reports and planning. Many of these changes have been recorded on Network 7 that is due to be published in the first quarter of 2010-2011.</div><div><br></div><div>The RMS regards capacity building as an important aspect of development within the organisation.

The RMS has prepared an executive summary on the Bridge Management System, which was discussed with all internal stakeholders and accepted by them. Various presentations were also done internally and externally. The recommendations were passed on to the NP&amp;C Division for the detail investigation of the 200 bridges in the worst condition, and to Maintenance Division for their routine maintenance budgeting and priorities determination.</div><div><br></div><div>The annual budget for a five-year period as calculated by the BMS comes to&#58; Routine Maintenance, N$8 100 000; Repairs N$12 300 000; Total N$20 400 000. Currently, only a fraction of this amount is spent on bridges due to lack of sufficient fund availability. Figures below provide statistics of the age distribution and condition of Namibia's different structures distributed across the Political Regions. As can be seen, the most structures are in the Karas region, followed by Hardap. Ohangwena and Kavango regions have the lowest number of structures.<br></div><div><br></div><div>​​<img src="/PublishingImages/Lists/Website%20Pages/NewForm/bridge1.jpg" alt="bridge1.jpg" style="margin&#58;5px;width&#58;380px;height&#58;250px;" /><img src="/PublishingImages/Lists/Website%20Pages/NewForm/bridge2.jpg" alt="bridge2.jpg" style="margin&#58;5px;width&#58;380px;height&#58;229px;" /><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><img src="/PublishingImages/Lists/Website%20Pages/NewForm/vkt.jpg" alt="vkt.jpg" style="margin&#58;5px;width&#58;380px;height&#58;161px;" /><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><br></div><div><br></div><div></div><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>​​​<br></p>

RA has worked tirelessly to develop a sustainable road network, which is ahead of national and regional socio-economic needs in pursuit of Namibia’s Vision 2030. This is evident in the progress we have made thus far, where our road network currently stands at a total length of 48.537.7 kilometres (km), of which 8400 km are bitumen standards (surfaced),26 024 km gravel,13 773.8km earth (cleared tracks) and salt roads at 330.1km. This is in line with our mission of achieving our country ‘s development aspirations.&#160;&#160;<br></div><div><br></div><h3>What are the dangers of overloading?</h3><div>Overloading is the main cause of damage to our national roads. It causes distress on road structures such as bridges and culverts, resulting in accelerated deterioration of structural elements. Overloading not only causes considerable damage to our road network, but is also a serious road safety matter. Overloaded vehicles are safety hazards due to increased braking distances, higher chances of mechanical and tyre failures and instability of the vehicles caused by wrong placement of loads.</div><div>Overloaded vehicles can cause traffic delays due to reduced travel speeds, which inevitably leads to driver frustration and dangerous overtaking manoeuvres. Overloading also results in unfair competition between operators, with law abiding operators being at a disadvantage.</div><h3><br></h3><h3>What does the law say?<br></h3><div>The present legislation on vehicle loads and dimensions is as stipulated in the Road Traffic and Transport Act,1999 (Act no 22 of 1999 and its regulations 2001.</div><div>In terms of the present legislation, the legal load limits are as follows&#58;</div><div>Single wheel load (steering)<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">     </span>3 850kg</div><div>Single wheel load (non steering)<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">     </span>4 000kg</div><div>Single axle with two wheels (steering)<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">    </span>7 700 kg</div><div>Single axle without tow steering (non steering)<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">   </span>8 000 kg</div><div>Single axle with four wheels<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">     </span>9 000 kg</div><div>Tandem axle unit with two wheels per axle<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">   </span>16 000 kg</div><div>Tandem axle unit with two wheels per axle<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">   </span>8 000 kg</div><div>Tandem axle unit<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">       </span>24 000 kg<br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Regulation 260, which is also known as the bridge formula limits the concentration of axle load over any given distance and s defined as follows&#58;</strong></div><div><strong>P = 2 100 L + 18 000</strong></div><div>Where P is the permissible load on kilograms and L is the distance in metres between the centres if the extreme axles of any group of axles and axle units.<br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>The permissible<span style="color&#58;rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Gross vehicle Mass</span> is 56 000kg</strong>.<br></div><div><strong>With regards to the vehicle dimensions, the enforcement limits are as follows&#58;</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div>Width<span style="white-space&#58;pre;">        </span>2.6 m</div><div>Length&#160;
