Residents of Offinso in the Offinso South District of the Ashanti Region are predominantly farmers and petty traders.
Some of the petty traders, who deal in perishable goods, ply their merchandise around the Offinso toll booth.
They take advantage of the traffic congestion at the toll booth to earn an income.
As the government scraps road tolls, these traders are hoping the booths will be converted into security posts to keep them in business.
