MOST street vendors operate from stalls set up by the roadside.
However, a growing number of them have literally taken their business to the streets.
With a placard hanging from their necks to promote their offerings, they tote packets of foodstuff to sell to motorists along the roads, lingering especially at traffic light junctions.
Some of these traders mostly selling pickled mangoes, various snacks and packet drinks wait by the roadside and on road dividers for potential buyers.
When vehicles stop at the red light, they try to make a sale and when the lights turn green, they retreat and wait for the next group of customers.
