It is a mixture of lively retail shopping areas, with local stores, bars or 'drinking spots', bus/taxi stations, and a market.

Pokuase Junction is one of the busy bus stops for public transport, including buses (trotros) and shared-taxis, along the Accra-Kumasi motorway.

[10] Okai Kwei Hill leads down to Ayawaso, the traditional homeland of the Ga people, the historical custodians of the land of the capital city of Accra.

From Pokuase you can drive or take local transport: -To central Accra, along the Accra-Kumasi motorway, passing Achimota and Kwame Nkrumah Circle[13] -To Kumasi, along the Accra to Kumasi Motorway -To Mallam,[14] along the Awoshie-Pokuase dual-carriageway,[15] a section of the ECOWAS Highway, and onto Cape Coast.

The completion of this motorway has brought new housing estates and 'gated community' developments to the area, as well as shopping complexes, which are under construction along the route.

The 'local' shopping mall is at St Johns, the Achimota Retail Park, with many international stores including Shoprite, Palace, and Mr P; amongst many international eating places, including KFC, pizza parlours, ice-cream parlours, coffee shops and more.
