244. Other works included operation of the two Government Quarries, the organization and improvement of street lighting, maintenance of roadside verges, culverts, channels, cuttings, footpaths and street name plates together with maintenance of runways and hardstandings at Kai Tak Airport. For the control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, signs, white lines, island refuges and guard rails were maintained and new ones erected as necessary.
245. A labour force of nearly 1,200 artisans and workmen was directly employed on minor road maintenance and for the operation of quarries. Improvement and reconstruction works were carried out by local contractors.
Reconstruction Policy
246. In order to reduce future maintenance costs, the policy of building new and reconstructed roads to a high standard was continued; the benefits of this policy have already become apparent.
247. In reconstructing City roads of restricted width, full allowance was made for future widening; levels and cambers were arranged so that they would fit in with the eventual road layout without further reconstruction.
248. Segregation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic was effected wherever possible on new and reconstructed roads in less developed areas by the use of verges between carriageways and footpaths. These verges are also used to accommodate public utility services and to provide space for bus bays and parking areas where required.
