Appropriate temporary traffic signs will be erected on site to guide motorists. The public transport operators will display notices to advise passengers of the above arrangements.

Due to extensive road closure and traffic diversion in the affected areas, it is anticipated that other major roads in the vicinity will become very congested. Motorists are advised to be patient in case of traffic congestion when driving at the vicinity and follow Police’s instruction, and watch out for the latest traffic news through the media.

In addition, other ad-hoc traffic and public transport measures, including additional road closures, traffic diversion, alteration and suspension of public transport services may be implemented by the Police at anytime depending on actual traffic and crowd conditions in the areas.

Members of the public are advised to use public transport services, in particular railway services and avoid driving to the affected or congested areas unless necessary. Early planning of journeys and use of alternative travelling routes are advised to avoid unexpected delay. Public transport commuters are advised to pay attention to the arrangements of route diversions and suspension or relocation of stops.

For the details of the special traffic and transport information, members of the public may call 1823 Call Centre or browse Transport Department website at www.td.gov.hk.
