Following hours of heavy rainfall, on Wednesday in the capital city, Accra, several areas have been flooded.

Kaneshie First Light, Ofankor Barrier, Taifa Junction, Madina Market were some of the places affected by the floods.

While there was heavy vehicular traffic in affected areas, some road commuters had a tough time manoeuvring through floodwaters in other places.

The rains started at about 9 am in various parts and intensified through midday through to mid-evening and gradually impeded traffic flow.

Some persons took to social media to express concerns over the flooding situation in their areas.

The Madina Market in the La-Nkwantanang Madina Assembly was also not spared as traders had to struggle with flood waters to save their wares.

A typical rainy day in Greater Accra (Madina). We need to put in the right measures to mitigate these issues. It's our responsibility. #stopthefloods #unitingagainstflooding pic.twitter.com/x4Qg7wjm5l

Flooding also took over the Accra-Winneba Road forcing commuters to use one side of the double-lane road.

This is towards the West Hills mall on the Accra Winneba road. The other side heading to Accra is totally flooded so all commuters are using the side towards the mall. This is not new, it has been like this since🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. #Floods pic.twitter.com/W0HaGGTKxI
