Introduction:
Westfield Junction,
in Serrekunda, is the main roundabout which is at the end of
Kairaba
Avenue going south east and is named after the
clinic there. It is the
Gambia's equivalent of Piccadilly Circus without the water fountain
but with 2 sculptures: The first is of a palm-wine tapper located in
the middle of the roundabout and the second is of 2 schoolchildren
holding text books with is located behind the Youth Monument Bar &
Restaurant just in front of the church and Gamtel's spiral staircase.
Nearby is also the Standard Chartered Bank.
Road Side:
Almost at all times of the day it bustling with commuters,
taxis, private cars, cyclists as well as street traders offering
bootleg DVDs for around £2 to 3, fruit sellers and general layabouts
and chancers.
Traffic lights at the road leading on to the
Banjul / Serrekunda Highway now regulate the traffic there instead of
the police. However, there are huge tailbacks from 4 pm onwards as
people exit the capital on their way back home to the Kombos.
