Bus-only lane to be introduced on Tuen Mun Road
The Transport Department reminded motorists that a bus-only lane would be introduced on Tuen Mun Road starting on Saturday (March 25).
A spokesman for the department said it would be designated at the nearside lane of the Kowloon-bound carriageway between So Kwun Wat and a point 300 metres to the west of Tsuen Wan Road,
It will be operational between 6.30 am and 9 am daily except Sundays and public holidays.
The bus-only lane will be used by franchised and non-franchised buses, including school buses and other coaches.
The spokesman said legislation had been amended to allow medium and heavy goods vehicles to use the middle and offside lanes of the Kowloon- bound carriageway of Tuen Mun Road during the operation hours of the bus-only lane, with the offside lane for overtaking.
"Outside the bus-only lane operation hours, the nearside lane will be a normal traffic lane on an expressway. All traffic should keep to the left unless overtaking. Buses, and medium and heavy goods vehicles will not be allowed to use the offside lane," he said.
He reminded motorists that during the bus-only lane operation hours, Kowloon- bound motorists will not be allowed to exit Tuen Mun Road at Siu Lam and Sham Tseng Interchanges.
To reach their destinations in Siu Lam and Sham Tseng from Tuen Mun, they should use Castle Peak Road.
