Attention and Appeal

In addition, most of the on-street parking spaces in the vicinity of Wan Chai will be suspended. Motorists are advised to avoid driving to the affected or congested areas, especially in the vicinity of Wan Chai, unless necessary. In case of road closure and traffic diversion, motorists should follow the instruction of the Police on site and the guidance of road signs, and stay alert to the latest traffic news through the media.

Other ad-hoc traffic and public transport measures, including adjusting the extent of road closure, traffic diversion, alteration and suspension of public transport services may be implemented by the Police in short notices depending on the actual traffic and crowd conditions. Taxi and public light bus drivers who will go to Wan Chai North for refilling are advised to take note of the road closure arrangements implemented in the areas.

Members of the public are advised to use public transport services as far as possible, in particular railway services. 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 details of the special traffic and transport arrangements, members of the public can call 1823 for enquiries or browse through Transport Department website www.td.gov.hk.
