Executive Summary of Technical Report on Traffic and Transport
Civil Engineering and Development Department Agreement No. CE61/2007(CE) and Planning Department North East New Territories New Development Areas Planning and Engineering Study – Investigation Traffic and Transport Assessment Executive Summary INTRODUCTION This report provides a baseline review and a traffic and transport impact assessment of the proposed North East New Territories (NENT) New Development Areas (NDAs) Development under the Recommended Outline Development Plans (RODPs), for the existing and planned transport system. A 2-tier transport modelling approach is adopted. Strategic transport model is developed to provide quantitative input for highway capacity analysis of the major highway corridors, whereas local transport models are developed to support the local network and junction design. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT ON THE RODPs The model runs have identified the potential overloading of the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section, the Po Shek Wu Interchange and the So Kwun Po Interchange due to the proposed NDAs Development. Various highway network improvement options to resolve the problem and minimise noise and air pollution are explored and outlined below. HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURES Widening of Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section It is recommended to widen the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section between the San Tin Interchange and Po Shek Wu Interchange from the existing dual 3-lane without hard shoulder to dual 4-lane with hard shoulder, and to divert the adjacent Castle Peak Road with the associated utilities. Various widening scheme options have been reviewed and it is recommended to widen the expressway towards the northern side so that the impacts to the existing nearby historical buildings and Old and Valuable Trees (OVTs) could be minimised. -

LC Paper No. CB(1)956/01-02 LegCo Panel on Transport Summary of major concerns raised by Members on Shenzhen Western Corridor (SWC), Deep Bay Link (DBL) and Route 10 Major concerns The Administration’s response Reliability of traffic forecasts Incorrect traffic forecasts from the Third The current set of traffic data for future planning is derived from CTS-3 Comprehensive Transport Study (CTS-3) are used to which examined an envelope of growth scenarios including Low, Medium justify the provision of Route 10 as according to Route and High in assessing future transport needs. Taking into account CTS- 3 Company, Route 3 would have spare capacity up to 3’s recommendation, the Administration has instituted the annual 2016 to accommodate the additional traffic generated Strategic Highway Project Reviews (SHPR) to ensure that transport from SWC/DBL. infrastructure can be provided in a timely manner to meet demands. Hence, the latest traffic forecasts are based on the most updated assumptions and realistic scenarios. The latest traffic forecasts for the roads in question, set at two decimal points, are given at Annex. They indicate a need for Route 10 Southern Section by 2007/2008 and the Northern Section in 2010/2011. The plan to advance the northern section to 2007/08 is mainly in response to local demand to provide a further safeguard for Tuen Mun Road (TMR), as well as changing economic circumstances. According to such forecasts, Route 3 will become saturated by 2010/11. It is appropriate to point out that in terms of transport management planning, the main concern is to avoid congestion at peak hours and hence daily total traffic, while relevant, is of lesser importance. -

Background 1.1 The Territorial Development Strategy Review in 1990s first identified that there was potential for strategic growth in the North East New Territories (NENT). The Planning and Development Study on NENT commissioned in 1998 identified Kwu Tung North (KTN), Fanling North (FLN) and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling (PC/TKL) as suitable for New Development Areas (NDAs) development. The Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy, promulgated in 2007, recommended to proceed with the KTN and FLN NDAs, among others, to address the long-term housing demand and provide employment opportunities. -
