Under this first phase, eight cameras have been installed at various locations along Tuen Mun Road. They will relay live pictures to the New Territories Police Regional Command and Control Centre in Tai Po, and to the Transport Department's New Territories Area Traffic Control Centre in Tsuen Wan.
Works under this phase started in July last year and were completed recently.
The second phase of the system will involve the addition of 11 cameras to provide better and full coverage of Tuen Mun Road.
Work is already underway and the full system is expected to be operational in July this year.
The system will enable the Police and the Transport Department to monitor the traffic conditions from their central control centres, and at times of traffic congestion or incidents, take necessary actions quickly.
