CYCLISTS ARE WARNED
*****
WRECKED BICYCLES ARE BEING DISPLAYED ON TING KOK ROAD, TAI PO, TO REMIND CYCLISTS OF THE FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE OF ACCIDENTS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ROAD SAFETY.
THE EXHIBITION IS ONE OF A SERIES OF ACTIVITIES ORGANISED
BY THE TAI PO DISTRICT BOARD'S ROAD SAFETY DRIVE COMMITTEE.
THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, MR CHENG CHUN-PING, POINTED OUT THAT ABOUT 90 CYCLISTS WERE INVOLVED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ALONG TING KOK ROAD LAST YEAR, RESULTING IN FOUR BEING KILLED AND 34 BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED.
+THIS ROAD IS A POPULAR SPOT FOR CYCLISTS. BUT BECAUSE OF THE BUSY TRAFFIC CYCLISTS SHOULD EXERCISE GREAT CARE AND ABIDE BY THE CYCLING SAFETY REGULATIONS,+ HE SAID.
+THIS IS WHY WE STAGE THE EXHIBITION OF WRECKED BICYCLES INVOLVED IN PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS ALONG TING KOK ROAD, TOGETHER WITH SOME WARNING SLOGANS.+
OTHER PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE SIGNBOARDS WITH CYCLING SAFETY REGULATIONS TO BE DISPLAYED AT BICYCLE HIRING STALLS, ROAD SAFETY CARTOON BILLBOARDS TO BE INSTALLED AT SHUEN WAN AND TAI ME! TUK, AND A MINI EXHIBITION OF CYCLING SAFETY AT TAI PO RAILWAY STATION.
MEANWHILE, THE POLICE WILL STEP UP PROSECUTIONS ON CYCLISTS WHO DISREGARD REGULATIONS.
