EXPANSION OF LOK MA CHAU PARKING FACILITIES PLANNED
Plans are in hand for providing additional car parking facilities at
the popular tourist lookout point at Lok Ma Chau in the New Territories.
In recent years, due to its unique position overlooking the picturesque
western border area, Lok Ma Chau has been attracting greater numbers of visitors
each year, both locally and overseas. Practically every bus tour visiting the
New Territories includes a stop at this spot.
Recent traffic counts have shown that as many as 26 tourist coaches and
18 cars visit the area in one hour, but the existing parking facilities can
accommodate up to 10 coaches at a time. Because of this traffic congestion during
peak hours is inevitable.
A suitable site to the north of the present parking area has been
selected and the planning of the project is expected to start within this
financial year.
