5.117.
Opportunity was taken following the inauguration of the Lion Rock Tunnel to determine its effect on public travel habits. The survey was planned to measure the change in the pattern of vehicular movement across the Kowloon foothills and to ascertain the extent to which the public bases its choice of travel mode on savings in cost or travel time. The project comprised an origin-and-destination survey, a vehicle occupancy survey, interview surveys on trains and buses and an examination of the pattern of travel by New Territories taxis and dual-purpose vehicles.
5.118. Studies were also carried out of the travel pattern by 'water-taxis' in the harbour and the future public transport requirements of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, when it moves to its new site near Sha Tin by 1971.
5.119. To facilitate an appraisal of a report submitted by Messrs Scott, Wilson, Kirkpatrick & Partners for a dual carriageway restricted access road linking Tsuen Wan and Castle Peak, a study was made of possible vehicular traffic between the two new towns in 1971 and 1985 based on various population predictions.
Miscellaneous Surveys
5.120. Routine work on the traffic census and associated vehicular classification counts continued. Vehicular and pedestrian counts were carried out at a number of locations in the urban areas as part of a project to assess the relative priority of various pedestrian crossing schemes. In connection with proposals for speed restrictions, studies were made at several locations including the Lion Rock Tunnel.
