+BY PAINTING THESE AREAS WITH TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRIGHT MARKINGS - YELLOW STRIPES IN CENTRAL AND WHITE BOXES IN WAN CHAI - WE HOPE MOTOR ISTS WILL SHOW MORE CONSIDERATION BY STOPPING

IN FRONT OF THE CROSSING PATHS UNTIL THE YELLOW BOX JUNCTION IS FULLY CLEAR, HE STRESSED.

+WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT WITH THE CO-OPERATION OF MOTORISTS, THIS SCHEME WILL PROVE SUCCESSFUL IN HONG KONG, THEREBY ALLOWING US TO INTRODUCE THEM ON A TERRITORY-WIDE BASIS, HE SAID.

SIMILAR MEASURES WILL BE INTRODUCED AT THE JUNCTIONS OF NATHAN ROAD/AUSTIN ROAD AND CANTON ROAD/PEKING ROAD DURING THE CHUNG YEUNG FESTIVAL ON OCTOBER 25.
