DR. IP : Sir, I have noted the Secretary's answer that
there are no studies being made of the extent and So on
and so forth, so I have a request. Could Government table
a list of black spots where drivers often make mistakes
for publication in the Hansard for public information, and
then conduct a systematic study on the extent to which
poor display or location or multiplicity of traffic signs
are contributory factors in their contravention?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT : Sir, I will certainly refer the
study to the department concerned for
need for a
consideration.
But, as I have said before, the existing
which may arise
arrangements already cover any problem
because of poor location of signs.
MR. CHAN KAM-CHUEN : Sir, are speed check
check signs also
considered
as traffic signs? If So,
why are they not
placed at eye level but placed on the pavement where
passing traffic can hide them from the motorists?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT
Yes, Sir, speed signs are
traffic signs. There
is, of course, very detailed
guidance on this. Perhaps I should show this to Members.
This is a very detailed guidance manual on traffic signs.
If Mr. CHAN wishes
wishes to refer to
to it later on,
I will be
pleased to show this to him. But the details given here
already cover all the different conditions, the location,
the positioning, and So on of traffic
traffic signs. I am
all the details are in this manual.
