A **pedlar** is a person who travels and trades on foot and goes from town to town or house-to-house selling goods or offering their skills in handicrafts. These are the doorknockers selling such things as, pictures, dusters etc. A person who acts without a pedlar\'s certificate commits an offence. A pedlar’s certificate does not entitle you to undertake Street-trading activities.

sidewalk vendor/ sidewalk seller


Explanation:
Sandra has given the definition of “pedlar/ peddler”.
This is NOT a buhonero in Venezuela. Buhoneros are merchants who sell their merchandise in the street, on the sidewalk or within a marketplace, but always at the same place, without traveling.
Best regards from Caracas, a city with thousands of buhoneros.
Manuel

BYLAW NO. 42
STREET VENDORS BY-LAW
Street Vendors By-law:
Abstract:
The proposed Street Vendors By-law will enable the Town to regulate street vendors in a more effective and practical manner. The following outlines the proposed changes:
1. 1) Any vending within a street right-of-way will be regulated by the Street Vendors By-law. Any vending activities not located within the street right-of-way will be regulated by the License By-law.
2. 2) Ratepayers will no longer be exempted from the requirement of a license fee pursuant to the Street Vendors By-law or the License By-law.
3. 3) Vendors, except lunch trucks, ice cream wagons, door to door vendors and auxiliary vendors shall tender for a designated site.
4. 4) Businesses assessed for business occupancy tax may be able to use portions of the sidewalk in front of their location for the purpose of vending. Such locations will also be strictly regulated to ensure that there is no interference with the normal pedestrian traffic flow.
5. 5) An approved vending operation should be exempted from the one hour parking limitation pursuant to the Parking Regulations. The Traffic Authority and the Parking Commission should review this possibility and make recommendations respecting this exemption.
6. 6) The Street Vendors By-law will no longer exempt those products directly from the farm, forest or sea.

X. El problema de los buhoneros
-En este gobernar con la gente, cómo se resuelven las contradicciones que se dan dentro del propio pueblo. Por ejemplo, el problema de los buhoneros, porque tú tienes ahí el caso de los comerciantes establecidos, que pagan sus impuestos y el caso de los desempleados o emigrantes que vienen de otros lugares, que es un fenómeno general en las ciudades de América Latina. ¿Qué han hecho ustedes aquí en la alcaldía al respecto? Me han dicho que ustedes pensaban sacarlos del mercadito de El Gallo y reubicarlos, pero que esto no se ha hecho y que la policía los está sacando de ahí, ¿es así?

As in many other cases, different countries assign different meanings to the same words, and reversely, different words to the same meaning.

I don’t doubt that peddlers are called “buhoneros” in some countries, but NOT in Venezuela. The noun we use for peddler is “vendedor ambulante”.

Certainly there could be a better term than *“sidewalk vendor”*, which I found on the Internet, but if you want to convey the meaning assigned to the word “buhonero”, “peddler/pedlar” is not the best option.

If you like this word, I think you may use *“stationary peddler”*, which is not the same as the dictionary definition of “peddler” [[PDF] TITLE 8 Formato de archivo: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - Versión en HTML

Unfortunately, it seems that El Universal’s archives are not available at this moment; (a Caracas newspaper which often publishes photos of “puestos de buhoneros”, particularly in December).

At least 50 years ago, the meaning assigned to this word changed in Venezuela. Such meaning is outlined in the following reference:

Para algunos estudiosos de este fenómeno, establecen que la buhonería tiene su origen en el Plan de Emergencia Larrázabal, siendo un medio de los pobres por aliviar su pobreza, puesto que el buhonero de oficio proviene de la mesocracia urbana, es decir, de la democracia liberal, en el cual se aprovecha un recurso que era de los pobres, acelerando el desplazamiento de quienes ofrecían flores a la mesa y bolígrafos en los transportes públicos, remitiéndonos a una estrategia comercial agresiva afianzada por mano de obra barata, aventurada en la buhonería móvil.

Por su naturaleza misma la economía informal altera el orden y la seguridad de la población urbana, específicamente la venta callejera en los centros históricos y cascos centrales, en donde encontramos la abusiva apropiación de dichos espacios públicos, los cuales son patrimonio importante de las principales ciudades del país, ocasionando la desvalorización de los mismos, desalentando las inversiones turísticas y por consiguiente, el turismo.
