REDUCTION OF TRAFFIC LANES IN PRINCE EDWARD ROAD
TO FACILITATE M.T.R. CONSTRUCTION ******
THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC LANES ON A SECTION OF PRINCE EDWARD ROAD IN MONG KOK HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM FOUR TO THREE TO FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY PRINCE EDWARD STATION WALLS.
THIS ARRANGEMENT WILL LAST UNTIL THE END OF MARCH NEXT YEAR.
THE TRAFFIC LANES, ALL FOR WESTBOUND TRAFFIC, ARE BETWEEN TUNG CHOI STREET AND NATHAN ROAD.
EXISTING FOOTPATHS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD WILL
NOT BE AFFECTED AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES WILL BE MAINTAINED.
TRAFFIC SIGNS WILL BE PUT UP IN THE AREA TO GUIDE MOTORISTS.
QUARTER GUARD AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE
******
THE CEREMONIAL QUARTER GUARD WILL NO LONGER BE MOUNTED AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE FROM THURSDAY (APRIL 28).
THE WITHDRAWAL OF THIS GUARD RESULTS FROM REDUCTIONS IN THE SIZE OF THE GARRISON IN 1976 AND A SUBSEQUENT REVIEW OF THE ARMY'S COMMITMENTS AND PRIORITIES.
IN FUTURE, A GUARD MAY BE MOUNTED ON SPECIAL, CEREMONIAL OCCASIONS. THE SECURITY OF GOVERNMENT HOUSE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ROYAL HONG KONG POLICE FORCE.
