Are there errors in the design of the flowerpot interchange in Accra Ghana ?

[@mastermind-oy7sj]

Slim, I appreciate your perspective, but I have some concerns regarding allowing hawking in that area. It could potentially lead to increased traffic issues and even safety risks for individuals. I propose that we consider implementing a law that addresses both the sellers and buyers in that yard. By introducing fines for hawkers and possibly requiring community service for buyers, we may discourage this practice and ultimately restore order to the area. Additionally, the government might find it beneficial to utilize that space as a parking lot, which could generate revenue.

[@isabelladelaawudi6259]

I agree with Slim, they can create stalls for a market ie night market and they can sell their wares there great source of revenue for the metro.they can also have toilet facilities for them as well

Slim naaaa when they live there ah it will bring the traffic that the interchange was developed to resolve

[@bebebannerman7201]

With this kind of mindset the country will not go anywhere. We need measures to place people like that at small markets in the neighborhoods.

[@JeanSampson87]

I agree.

Come to the US and hawk on i95. We lack discipline, it is not everywhere that you can hawk.

People sell by the road in California.

@@BigApplerealest kwasiapayin, I SAAAAID in California, the wealthiest state in America, people are allowed to sell anywhere! Aboa, is that clear now? Cheap ass country, good for nothing country like Ghana wants to block people but won’t create job or spaces for these people to thrive. Aboa mu aboa, travel and see.

Slim what are you smoking?

[@everymanisyourteacher9951]

Errors or not , ppl will always sell something anywhere can find comfortable or not, there should be market places for ppl but ppl don’t want to go to the market and buy and would rather buy from the roadside.

[@flavorsofthecontinent7195]

This is common sense. The point of that interchange is to reduce traffic. Allowing them to be there is only going to bring traffic so then what was the point of building that interchange. Ghanaians need to serious. Nkrasesem nu is too much

[@kweku3946]

Hawkers must not sell under the flower pot flyover. Hawkers can't sell anywhere because they want to make money. Can hawkers sell in front of the Jubilee House?

[@oseiraymond7195]

They're crazy if they will make the place dirty, why is the zoomlion available? The system is making it very difficult to let the average citizens live

[@Rollexm]

People sell by the road in California. LA is like Ghana. No one bothers them. As soon as you get off the freeway, you have water and flowers being sold.

[@flavorsofthecontinent7195]

Stop that nonsense. Which part of California? And what part of the highway?

Ghanaians nd gyimii this interchange was built to reduce traffic. Now people are complaining that hawkers are being kicked out. We are part of the problem. Wonder why ghana is a bola country.

[@adekunleyussuf4259]

Just criminalised trading expect in the market.

[@paakwegyir3165]

I disagree... so why are there no hawkers at the airport to area... we have to start from somewhere... and I can understand hawkers wanting to set up shop cos there is nothing else to do.. if there are factories people will be working instead of hawking but we can't allow people to do what they please...

[@joshuagaba1711]

[@ernestkamkam5617]

They shouldn't allow anyone to sell there some ghanaians like to sell things everywhere they see human traffic!!!

[@stylzk1830]

So why was this interviewer speaking English like everyone in Ghana suppose to understand

[@sarahowusu-yeboah5755]

Slim, I understand your argument but I do not agree with you. A habit can be created by just repeating an action more than once. And if you are consistent with it, then it becomes a habit. Ain’t we tired as a people of all the indiscipline we see around as? These hawkers create traffic jams. And that is one of the main reasons why the government did this construction. Why can’t we enforce laws to deter them from hawking there in order to prevent traffic jams created by hawking? America is America not because of the people but law enforcement. If the laws are not enforced, trust me, all of them will do whatever they want. Discipline must be inculcated or drummed into people. This can only be done by stringent enforcement of the laws. If you hawk there once, you get fined say GHS50 when caught. You hawk there 3 or 4 times, you get fined for all the times you are caught, is that not money leaving your pocket? The same money you are hawking for is being taken away from you because you have decided to be indisciplined. Won’t you change your route and find a new place where you will not be fined for hawking? A new place like a designated market for selling. I repeat, America is America not just because of the people, but the strict enforcement of its laws by the law enforcement agencies. We must not condone indiscipline and impunity in the name of nation building. Ntesaa, y3 w) kwan twa paaa….. #Streetiswatching

[@djsliming]

I stand to corrected but hawkers have never created traffic , they feed on traffic created by either bad roads or faulty traffic lights 🚦. Let’s change how we look at the problem and try solving it from that side and let’s see if it will work . Cos at it stands now they ain’t leaving ooo , they will come back soon , next month we go see them. And I’m not condoning but let’s face reality , they are a part of our eco system

[@BigApplerealest]

Your footbridge analogy is so lame I wonder why you included it in your submission. I guess you’re entitled to your opinion.

[@djsliming]

The footbridge analogy is on design failing to move with citizens and it’s a part of my argument too , because hawking is not new to Ghanaians , why can’t they be captured and monitored ? Is that too hard to do ? We are saying we will regularize illegal mining why can’t we regularize hawking too ?

[@BigApplerealest]

@ In my opinion I think asking us to compromise on wrong doing is fair to the state and those trying to help make it better . Hawking is allowed but we can’t allow it everywhere just because we want to help citizens. Can we also hawk at the airport?

[@moses0sei792]
