TUNNEL BAN ON LEARNER DRIVERS
Learner drivers are reminded that they cannot use the cross
harbour tunnel when engaged in driving lessons.
A spokesman for the Transport Department explained today that
under the Cross Harbour Tunnel Ordinance learner drivers were prohibited
to enter or remain in the tunnel area.
The reminder follows recent cases where learner drivers, in
particular motorcyclists, attempted to go through the tunnel. Appropriate
traffic signs had been posted on we approach roads to indicate the
restriction.
Meanwhile, special traffic arrangements will be imposed in Deep
Water Bay and Kowloon Tong on Wednesday (October 31). With effect from
10 a.m. on that day, no motor vehicles with unladen weights exceeding two
tons will be allowed to use the section of Deep Water Bay Road between
Nam Fung Road and Shouson Hill Road East. Drivers of such vehicles
wishing to use the section of Deep tato. Bay Road must apply in writing
to the Commissioner for Transport for a special permit,
At the same time, the section of Rutland Quadrant between Waterloo
Road and Stafford Road will be routed from two-way to one-way east-bound
traffic.
The special arrangement is to facilitate road improvement works
at Waterloo Road between Flint Road and York Road.
Traffic signs will be posted in the areas to guide motorists.
