SHAN KWONG ROAD CLOSED TO LEARNER DRIVERS

EEEEEE

Learner drivers will not be permitted to enter the section of

Shan Kwong Road south of Tsui Man Street from 4 p.m. tomorrow (January 18).

A Transport Department spokesman explained that this section is

a cul-de-sac with a steep gradient and the presence of many learner drivers

making U-turns on the road may be dangerous to pedestrians and other drivers

using the road.

Traffic signs will be posted in the area to guide learner drivers

and their instructors.

Note to Editors:
