Traders have taken over an entire lane of the busy Haile Selassie Avenue outside Wakulima market. They have turned the road into a market, displaying their wares with wanton abandon.

This has angered pedestrians and motorists who have now been forced to compete for space in the remaining lane. The takeover by the traders of a huge section of Haile Selassie Avenue and Landhies Road has resulted in traffic chaos.
