Supplementary to Question No. 2
in Légco on 9.3.88
very impressed that we are planning
DR. IP : Sir, I am very
according to international convention and usage.
However,
in planning the placement of traffic signs, has Government
looked into the maximum number a driver can cope with at
any one instance and the minimum reaction time after
sighting the signs?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT : Sir, yes, there is a very
comprehensive review by the Transport Department to assess
the location and number and usage of traffic signs
throughout the Territory This review was started a few
years ago and the total number of signs in Hong Kong have
been reduced by about 25 per cent So as to minimise the
hazards which some of them might create for drivers and
pedestrians. This is an on-going process and we hope to
finish this work in about two years' time. I am sure that
the factors
by Dr. IP have been taken into
mentioned
account in this comprehensive study and review.
