Congestion is a financial model used to charge road users more for the negative effects that its by-products cause on the economy, which have an impact on environment, such as air pollution, visual intrusion, number of accidents, gas emissions, increase in the number of vehicles which worsen traffic jams, time lost when traveling in the city, waste fuel and vehicle wear. Windhoek's residents are increasing by 3.4% per year, from 650,000 to 1 million in 2030, which is why city councilors should implement corrective measures. There will be increased pressure on housing provision to meet the needs of people migrating from rural to urban areas. There is already a huge housing shortage in the country and particularly in Windhoek, which is why the government has embarked on a mass housing initiative. A person migrates to seek a better standard of living, better education, health facilities and better work opportunities. However, this has negative effects such as social deterioration, alcohol and drug abuse, increased crime, congestion of shops and streets. The local transportation system is determined by private cars, taxi minibuses and supplemented by an insufficient COW bus system. Road pricing is an acceptable standard in CBDs; stakeholders therefore have a colossal task to correct the situation, which was partly created by colonial rule and poor planning. Congestion could be solved by: 1) reversing the transportation oversupply that causes shortages; 2) prohibit access to certain main streets in the CBD and reduce or divert traffic flows in city centers; 3) create one-way streets to redirect traffic flows smoothly during peak periods; 4) take into account the reductions given to cars with low fuel emissions and vice versa, as well as the effect of climate change policy on all regions of the country. If transport is planned to be free, people will charge more – which would be wasteful – compared to paying for it themselves. If the above is achieved, billions could be spent on road safety, widening existing roads, building new access roads and new bridges. The rejection of this principle is mainly due to its social and political acceptability. The discontent is mainly due to inequality and the fear that income will become another unnecessary expenditure of leaders. Perception is another evil hindering these important efforts of the City of Windhoek and the government. People should be made aware and continuously informed on these issues to facilitate implementation. Windhoek's congestion problem can be solved through concerted efforts, but at a cost..
