Risky congestion at Kumasi Central Business District

The Kumasi Metropolis risks a possible stampede if city authorities fail to clear traders from pavements and road side in the central business district.

The Central Business District of Kumasi is choked with vehicles and humans competing for space and passage.

Commuters have to struggle and meander their way through long-winding queues of intense human traffic.

Traders have also taken over pavements to sell their goods leaving pedestrians virtually no passage way.

The situation which is becoming a ritual during the festive season has worsened due to the barricade that has been erected to ward the public off the ongoing redevelopment of the Kejetia bus terminal.

Some commuters fear the traffic situation if not checked by city authorities could result in a stampede or suffocation.
