English term or phrase: Blocks
Poor farmers were dispersed and difficult to reach, so BTPN targeted traders, who were concentrated in pasars (traditional markets.)
There were 13,450 pasars in Indonesia, and they accommodated 12.6 million traders.4 Located in almost every major town and city, these organic, makeshift markets lined the streets with hundreds of small shops and thousands of customers passing through on foot daily.
Complex and chaotic, the pasar economy made up 80% of Indonesia’s economy in 2010.5
Within these pasars, a majority of traders sold food.
Tables with tomatoes, peppers, and spices lined the streets.
*Blocks* were filled with banana-vendors, who hung their ripening bundles of fruit on poles and beneath rafters.

перекрестки / пересечения


Explanation:
в данном случае, представляется, что имеются ввиду пересечения / перекрестки линий на рынке (что продавцу бананов делать внутри квартала и откуда кварталы на базаре)? Сказать "площади" или "перекрестки улиц" - тоже не звучит для рынка.
торговые лавки образовывали "улицы" на рынке, а на пересечениях этих улиц - чуть свободнее, для развешивания бананов.
Так что в данном случае, по смыслу контекста, мне скорее кажется что "пересечения / перекрестки торговых "улиц".

neutral  Igor Boyko: А почему не блок-посты? Там, где много бананов, вечно что-то творится на улицах. Железная логика, да?
