Regulation for bus-only lane
The Road Traffic (Expressway) (Amendment) Regulation 1995 was gazetted today (Friday) to allow for the introduction of bus only lanes on expressway.
A Government spokesman said the amendment was necessary for implementing a trial scheme in Tuen Mun Road. Starting from tomorrow (Saturday), the nearside lane of Tuen Mun Road would be designated as "bus only".
He explained that the scheme was introduced to improve public transport services for residents of the North West New Territories and was in line with the Government's policy of giving priority to public transport in the use of road
space.
"Depending on the outcome of this trial scheme, similar arrangements will be introduced for other expressways in future," he added.
The spokesman said with the amendment, a bus lane would cease to be considered as a lane for the purposes of determining the number of lanes under the Road Traffic (Expressway) Regulations.
