The
research findings indicate that 38(52%) of total respondents agreed that
education is provided while 27(37%) disagreed with this statement. The findings
imply the government have provided education in schools, and media but most of
people are not aware of guiding traffic rules. This is because most of
education is provide d in seminars, media and these people never listen since
they always go to conduct their business. We relate this study to Anna and
Litman, (2012) who explained that traffic education should be provided to all
people and not only drivers, explain more that when the entire community is
introduced to basic regulations and governing principles such impacts arising
will be minimized
Regional
planners and Police officers throughout their interview explained that
education always is provided to all people including drivers and non-drivers on
the advantages of adhering to traffic rules and obligations, but the negligence
of people cause the not to do so hence being affected with several impacts

The research findings indicate that 41(56.2%)
of total respondents agree that there is strict prohibition to conduct business
beside road sides, while 25(34.20%) disagreed with the statement. This means
that the government have put rules and prohibitions to conduct business
alongside and beside the road but residents have neglected to do so. The
government have prepared areas to conduct business such as Machinga complex but
people do not follow the principles. Litman & Steele, (2017) explains this
by showing us that in order people to follow rules and principles, they must be
beneficial to them. This means that prohibition will be successful when the
government will provide best areas to conduct business.
Regional
planners on an interview regarding this situation focused that people are
prohibited to conduct business on areas which are not allowed therefore we plan
areas for them where they must place their business but they fail to respond to
those areas.
3 Measures do you suggest may be useful to remove the
problem
The
statement was asked to put forward different measures which will be useful in
solving the problem of conducting business. Several respondents argued that the
government should provide grants and loans which will help people to pay for
special business areas, likewise areas arranged for business should not have
tax collection, and further the government should implement laws and
regulations effectively by removing these business people so as to reduce risks
to people and entire community. LATRA and stakeholders should have better
strategic plans to solve the problem of informal business along the road areas,
they will be able to solve accidents problems by increasing road safety.
4 Why small businessmen neglect to conduct business in respect
areas prepared by the government
The
statement required the respondents to explain why business men do not want to
conduct business in respect areas prepared by the government. Most of
respondents responded to this by indicating that most of prepared areas by the
government are far from the city center where there is high populated people
and were people are influenced to do purchasing activities, also people neglect
to those areas because of high tax compared to where they pay less or no
tax.
