Other ad-hoc traffic and public transport measures, including additional road closures, traffic diversions, alteration and suspension of public transport services may be implemented by the Police depending on actual traffic and crowd conditions in the areas.

Due to extensive road closure, the Transport Department anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity of the affected areas would be significantly congested. Members of the public who intend to go to the affected areas are advised to use public transport services as far as possible, particularly the railway services, plan their journey early and allow more traveling time to cater for unexpected delay. Members of the public are advised to avoid driving to the affected areas. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in case of traffic congestion, observe the instruction given by the Police; and watch out for the latest traffic news through media.

Members of the public can call 1823 or browse through Transport Department website www.td.gov.hk for more details of the special traffic and transport arrangements.
