Bus lanes help improve efficiency
Five bus lanes will be designated next Thursday (December 29) in the New Territories to improve the efficiency and reliability of bus services as part of the measures to address traffic congestion.
Announcing details of the scheme today (Friday), the Transport Department's Chief Traffic Engineer/New Territories East, Mr Sin Kwok-keung, said the main objective of the scheme was to accord priority to buses, in particular franchised buses, by enabling them to jump traffic queues in the morning peak hours.
"Of them, three are on the southbound approach roads towards Tate's Cairn Tunnel in Sha Tin, and one each on Tai Po Road eastbound near Yuen Chau Tsai in Tai Po and on the northbound slip road of Lam Tei Interchange in Tuen Mun," he said.
