Heavy traffic congestion has gripped Tudu in Accra, leaving commuters frustrated as the Christmas season approaches.
Many road users, particularly drivers, attribute the gridlock to increased shopping activity ahead of the festive celebrations.
However, others point to the growing number of street vendors occupying major roads as a significant cause of the congestion.
In an interview with Adom News, one driver shared his frustration, stating that he had been stuck in traffic for over 45 minutes.
He noted that, the delays were hurting his daily operations, leading to financial losses from wasted fuel and missed sales targets.
He called for the removal of street vendors from the roads, emphasizing their role in exacerbating the congestion.
Another driver acknowledged that Tudu is known for its frequent traffic jams but described the current situation as particularly intense.
He attributed this to the influx of people in town during the festive season, which has further slowed vehicular movement.
The combination of holiday shoppers and street vendors has resulted in an overwhelming buildup of cars, leaving many drivers anxious and frustrated.
As the holiday season intensifies, the challenges of managing street vendors and maintaining smooth traffic flow remain pressing.
Drivers are calling on authorities to implement a balanced solution that addresses the needs of vendors while ensuring free movement of vehicles in Accra’s busiest areas.
