Over the last year, the Police have doubled the deployment of officers to patrol strategic roads in the New Territories, including Tuen Mun Highway. Additionally, extra Transport Department staff have also been provided to implement a Traffic Surveillance and Information System for Tuen Mun Road, the first phase of which will be completed in May this year. This will comprise closed circuit television cameras and variable display signboards so as to advise motorists of road conditions ahead, all of which will help to improve the management of traffic along Tuen Mun Road,
