    LC Paper No. CB(1)848/03-04(03) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON TRANSPORT Traffic Impact on Tuen Mun Road upon the Commissioning of Hong Kong – Shenzhen Western Corridor and Deep Bay Link Purpose This paper informs Members of the traffic impact on Tuen Mun Road upon the commissioning of the Hong Kong – Shenzhen Western Corridor (HK–SWC) and Deep Bay Link (DBL), as well as the options being considered by the Administration to improve the traffic flow of Tuen Mun Road. Background 2. The HK–SWC is a dual three-lane carriageway spanning across Deep Bay linking the northwestern part of the New Territories with Shekou in Shenzhen. The DBL serves as the connecting road between the HK–SWC and the local transport network, linking the HK–SWC at its landing point at Ngau Hom Shek with the Yuen Long Highway. Construction of the DBL and the HK–SWC have commenced in June and August 2003 respectively. They are scheduled for completion by the end of 2005. Traffic Situation of Tuen Mun Road 3. Tuen Mun Road was partially completed and opened in 1978 to link up Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun. It was fully completed in 1983. It comprises two major sections – the Expressway Section (Wong Chu Road to Tsuen Wan Road) and the Town Centre Section (Wong Chu Interchange to Lam Tei Interchange). The design capacity of the Expressway Section is 118 000 vehicles. In 2003, the average daily traffic on the Expressway Section during weekdays was about 106 000 vehicles. The vehicle/capacity (v/c) ratio1 is 1.1 during peak hours.

  • LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL on TRANSPORT Progress Update on the Installation of Speed Enforcement Camera and Red Light Camera
    CB(1)477/03-04(02) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON TRANSPORT Progress Update on the Installation of Speed Enforcement Camera and Red Light Camera Systems Introduction This paper updates Members on the progress of the installation of speed enforcement camera and red light camera systems. Background Speed Enforcement Cameras 2. Driving in excess of speed limits on the road has contributed to the occurrence and severity of most traffic accidents. Overseas experience shows that installation of speed enforcement cameras (SECs) at strategic locations is a useful means to combat speeding effectively. 3. Before January 1999, there were only 10 locations along Tolo Highway and Fanling Highway that were installed with SEC on- site equipment. In January 1999, we consulted this Panel on our proposal to expand the coverage of SECs to 60 other locations at strategic roads and expressways, and to place eight cameras at these locations on a rotational basis. The funding requirement for the procurement of cameras and computer systems, installation works, testing of equipment and contingencies was estimated to be $25.16m. Members supported the proposal. We subsequently secured the Finance Committee (FC)’s funding approval for the project in July 1999. However, as the price of the successful bid was lower than our estimate, we decided to add another 15 locations to the project, then making a total of 75 locations. The project was scheduled to be completed by September 2002. The list of locations is at Annex A. - 2 - Red Light Cameras 4. The red light camera (RLC) system aims to deter drivers from red light jumping which accounts for more than 80% of traffic signal offences.

  • Hong Kong's Road Engineering Fea Quality Control Testing in Construction Is Essenti Interior Design: Manila Hotel's Rebirth
    Hong Kong's road engineering fea Quality control testing In construction is essenti Interior design: Manila Hotel's rebirth -Ait HK'S FIRST HIGH-CAPACITY RURAL HIGHWAY TUEN MUN is one of the three new towns being developed in Hong Kong's New Territories. It is 17 km west of another new town Tsuen Wan and 32 km by existing roads from the commercial heart of the territory Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. By 1986 Tuen Mun will have nearly half-a-million people. From the early planning stages of the new town, it was clear that the existing tortuous Castle Peak Rd would prove an inadequate link between Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun. A high-capacity road link was con• sidered an essential prerequisite to the development of Tuen Mun. The Hong Kong Government commissioned a firm of consultants to prepare a report on a new road between the two towns and, follow• ing its acceptance, to design and supervise construction. Tuen Mun Rd, as it is now called, is Hong Kong's first high-capacity, limited- access rural highway. It is being constructed in two stages. First carriageway Construction of the US$57.1 Mun Rd will form part of Route 2 Aerial view of Tuen Mun Rd which million initial stage commenced in which will provide continuous dual- links Tuen Mun New Town with Tsuen Wan New Town.

  • Legislative Council Panel on Transport Reconstruction And
    Legislative Council Panel on Transport Reconstruction and improvement of Tuen Mun Road PURPOSE This paper seeks Members’ views on the implementation of the project “Reconstruction and improvement of Tuen Mun Road”. BACKGROUND 2. The existing section of TMR between Tsuen Wan and the Tuen Mun town is a 15.5 kilometres long expressway forming part of Route 2. This dual three-lane highway is mostly carried on at-grade roads with approximately 1.6 kilometres of it carried on bridge structures. The highway has been in service for almost 20 years. Most at-grade road sections are approaching the end of their service life1 and are beyond economical repair. We have recently been keeping the road in a serviceable condition through frequent maintenance and resurfacing. The only cost-effective measure to extend the service life of the at-grade sections of TMR is by reconstruction. 3. The existing traffic lanes of TMR are 3.3 to 3.5 metres wide, which fall below the current standard lane width of 3.65 metres for an expressway. Moreover, there is no hardshoulder on most sections of the road to cater for broken down vehicles, unobstructed passage of emergency vehicles and maintenance works. Widening of the lane widths to the current standard and provision of hardshoulders are necessary to improve traffic operation and enhance safety. We also propose replacement of the existing metal crash barrier along TMR with concrete profile barrier to provide better vehicle containment and enhance road safety. 4. The current slip roads of the existing interchanges along TMR at Sham Tseng and Siu Lam are too short to meet the latest traffic engineering standards.
