BOX JUNCTION IN TSUEN WAN
Another "box" junction will be introduced on Thursday (December
20) at the junction of Castle Peak Road and Texaco Road in Tsuen Wan.
The "box" junction will be clearly identifiable by yellow criss-
cross lines painted on the carriageway with warning signs at the approaches.
A Transport Department spokesman reminded motorists that it is
an offence to drive into the box unless the exit is clear. If the exit
is blocked, he said, then drivers must wait even if the traffic signals
show green.
"The object is to prevent road junctions being blocked in all
directions by vehicles which cannot get out of the intersection during a
green phase of the signals controlling traffic approaching the junction,"
the spokesman said.
