In addition to tidal flow, other traffic
management measures have also been introduced to maximise the
throughput of the tunnel during the morning peak hours.
These include the use of traffic lights to regulate merging
movements at the southbound approach to the tunnel and the
introduction of bus lanes along Kowloon-bound Lion Rock
Tunnel Road, Hung Mui Kuk Road and Che Kung Miu Road. The
bus lanes have resulted in an average reduction of five

Apart from the above measures, other arrangements
have also been recommended by a consultancy study completed
in April. They include the refintroduction of the one-way

that the operation period of the tidal flow can be extended,

scheme along westbound Lung Cheung Road. The relevant
District Boards
ct Boards are being consulted on these and
recommendations will be put to the Governor+in+Council after
