FOR EXAMPLE. THE HUNG HOM-TO KWA WAN AND KING'S ROAD SCHEMES FEATURE MOST OF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES WHICH INCLUDE A GYRATORY SYSTEM, CLEARWAY RESTRICTIONS, RE-ROUTING OF SIDE STREET TRAFFIC, RATIONALISATION OF BUS STOPS, TRAFFIC SIGNAL CO-ORDINATION, WITH-FLOW+ BUS LANES, +CONTRA-FLOW+ BUS LANES AND BUS-ONLY STREET.
ANOTHER TECHNIQUE USED FOR EXAMPLE IN THE POK FU LAM ROAD SCHEME WAS THE +OFF-SETTING+ OF A CENTRE LINE TO ALLOW AN EXTRA LANE FOR BUSES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A SAVING OF APPROXIMATELY 11 MINUTES PER BUS ON THEIR AVERAGE JOURNEY TIME.
BUS JOURNEY TIMES HAVE BEEN REDUCED IN GLOUCESTER ROAD BY WIDENING THE CARRIAGEWAY TO PROVIDE A 24-HOUR BUS LANE.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A +BUS GATE+ FOR THE KWAI CHUNG ROAD SCHEME HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR BUSES ONLY TO CROSS A ROAD WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO A MTR STATION AND HAS RESULTED IN REDUCING THE BUS JOURNEY TIME BETWEEN CASTLE PEAK ROAD AND KWAI FONG MTR STATION BY 2-1/2 MINUTES DURING THE MORNING AND THREE MINUTES DURING THE EVENING PEAK PERIOD.
