Although the market is not yet opened, yet the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly launched the streets to control the decongestion rate of traders and cars at the venue. Sellers from the Central Market, Race Course, Suame Roundabout and vantage selling areas who were evacuated without relocation all took to the streets of the Kejetia Market to engage in trade on walkways for buyers.

It took amblers walking from the Adehyee Market to Adum 30 minutes before crossing over whiles drivers sometimes remained in traffic congestion for hours, which affected the sales of businesses in the region.
