Windhoek's three main access roads from [[Rehoboth, Namibia|Rehoboth]], [[Gobabis]], and [[Okahandja]] are paved, and are designed to be able to withstand the largest possible flood to be expected in fifty years. Sealed roads can carry traffic moving at {{cvt|120|km/h}} and should last for 20 years.

In 1928, Kaiserstraße, now [[Independence Avenue (Windhoek)|Independence Avenue]], was the first paved road in Windhoek. Ten years later the next one, Gobabis road, now Sam Nujoma Drive, was also paved. Today, out of approximately {{cvt|40000|km}} of Namibia's total road network, about {{cvt|5000|km}} is [[paved road|sealed]].

In 2014, The Roads Authority planned to upgrade the Windhoek-[[Okahandja]]  road to a dual carriageway. It would cost about N$1&nbsp;billion and was expected to be completed in 2021. Later on, they also planned to upgrade the Windhoek and Hosea Kutako International Airport to a dual carriageway. This was expected to be completed in 2022.

As everywhere in Namibia, public transport is scarce and transportation across town is largely done by taxi; there were 6,492 registered taxis in 2013.<ref>{{cite news |title=A glimpse into the taxi industry |last=Shipanga |first=Selma |date=3 April 2013 |work=[[The Namibian]] |pages=6–7}}</ref>

===Air===
Windhoek is served by two airports, with the closest one being [[Eros Airport]], located {{cvt|7|km}} south of the city centre for smaller craft, and the other being [[Hosea Kutako International Airport]], {{cvt|42|km}} east of the city. A number of foreign airlines operate to and from Windhoek. Air charters and helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft rentals are also available.

Hosea Kutako International Airport handles over 800,000 passengers a year. It has one runway without capacity limitations. The other international airport is located in [[Walvis Bay]], with domestic airports at [[Lüderitz]], [[Oranjemund]], and [[Ondangwa]].

Eros Airport is the busiest airport in Namibia in terms of takeoffs and landings.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airports.com.na/eros.php |title=Namibia Airports Company |access-date=9 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120904002500/http://www.airports.com.na/eros.php |archive-date=4 September 2012 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> This city airport handles approximately 150 to 200 movements per day, amounting to roughly 50,000 per year. In 2004, the airport served 141,605 passengers, the majority of which are light aircraft. Primarily, limitations such as runway length, noise, and air space congestion have kept Eros from developing into a larger airport. Most of Namibia's charter operators have Eros as their base.
