TRAFFIC FLOW TO BE IMPROVED
New arrangements for both motorists and pedestrians will come into operation in Connaught Road Central on Friday (May 18) morning with the introduction of traffic signals at the junction of Connaught Road and Pedder
Street.
Westbound traffic on Connaught Road Central turning into Edinburgh Place will be diverted further westwards to make a U-turn at the new traffic signals and then by a left turn into Edinburgh Place via the eastbound lanes of Connaught Road.
The present gap in the central divider of Connaught Road opposite Edinburgh Place will be closed.
Pedestrians wanting to cross Connaught Road Central at Edinburgh Place will have to go by the subway to the east of the Mandarin Hotel. The pedestrian signals and crossing at Edinburgh Place will be removed.
The new arrangements, which will improve the flow of traffic in
the area, will come into force at 10.30 a.m. on Friday.
