"If cameras are located on the approach roads, for example, when
the tunnel supervisor sees on the television that an unusually large number
of cars are coming towards the tunnel, he can open more toll booths in
advance so that motorists will not be unduly delayed," he said.
The television system will have the added advantage of enabling
control staff to spot law-breaking motorists so that tunnel regulations can
be enforced more effectively.
This should indireetly lead to a reduction in the number of accidents.
On the purchase of a more powerful towing vehicle, the spokesman
said that in order to avoid congestion, it was essential to remove quickly
heavy lorries which broke down inside the tunnel.
"It is particularly needed because of the increasing number of heavy
lorries passing through the tunnel in connection with the development going
on in Sha Tin," he added.
