Sidewalk trading exists at the area adjacent to Winneba Road. Section 4 is predominantly residential. There is extensive informal activity, which takes place out of temporary metal structures, wooden kiosks and through sidewalk vending. On the residential streets behind Winneba Road, sidewalk trading is so extensive it blocks off car and pedestrian traffic flow. Along Winneba Road, intercity buses and tro-tros queue, creating congestion at the outer lane. Sections 2 and 3 contain mixed-use commercial activity. At the sidewalks, informal commercial activity takes place out of temporary structure. Goods sold include beauty supplies, electronics and household goods. Single-unit and multi-unit residences are present behind this commercial activity. Section 1 is predominantly residential with some formal commercial activities. Along Winneba Road, tro-tro and intercity buses queue to load and offload passengers. 1 8 2 5
