Question

Do you think the presence of hawkers in the city is a nuisance to the traffic?

Answer 1

Street vendors make a significant contribution towards the development of the urban economy. However, since they have no fixed place, they travel all over the cities and thereby cause the following traffic related problems:

1. The street vendors and their carts block the roads that lead to traffic jams, especially in small and crowded streets.

2. Accidents occur frequently between vehicles and the street vendors.

Thus, the government needs to allocate certain areas for the street vendors to sell their goods. This will help in clearing the roads of all unnecessary traffic.
