CLEARWAY RESTRICTIONS IN N-W KOWLOON BASED

The clearway restriction hours on sections of Tong Mi Road

and Prince Edward Road in north-western Kowloon have been relaxed

considerably.

The sections involved are Tong Mi Road between Lai Chi Kok

Road and Prince Edward Road, and Prince Edward Road between Tong Mi

Road and Nathan Road.

Originally the clearway, which was introduced late last year

to facilitate the construction of an olevated road, operated between

7 a.m. and 7 p..

However, following further traffic surveys in the area it was

decided, that the clearway restrictions should only operate during peak

periods 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

During these times, no motor vehicles except franchised buses

will be allowed to pick up or set down passengers or to load or unload

goods.

TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS AT PIPER'S HILL

Minor traffic diversions are to be introduced along the eastbound

carriageway of Tai Po Road to facilitate construction works at the Piper's

Hill Interchange.

The new arrangements will come into force on Thursday (February 14)

and will last for six days.

Motorists in the area are advised to exercise extreme care during

this period. Warning signs will be posted to guide them,
