vessels throughout the day and night, with a view to establishing the optimum size and capacity of vessel that would meet all normal requirements.
Traffic Generation at Kai Tak Airport
5.119. The proposals for the improvement of the road network in north-east Kowloon linking central Kowloon with Kwun Tong, revealed some degree of competition for road space between the needs of the airport and the other users of this important route. Predictions of the ground traffic needs of the airport varied considerably, and a study of the vehicular traffic generated by the airport was initiated in January. The field work, involving interviews with air passengers, vehicle drivers and passengers and pedestrians was completed, as was a study by questionnaire of travel-to-work by over 6,000 airport employees.
Miscellaneous Studies
5.120. Routine traffic counts to supplement the results of the traffic census and to provide data for the design and settings of traffic light signals continued. Surveys requiring vehicle speed studies and observations of pedestrian crossing movements at 65 locations throughout the Colony were completed.
5.121. Other minor studies included comparisons of the service provided by the dual purpose vehicle and the public bus system where both used the same route, a prediction of the probable effects of partially closing Princess Margaret Road in connection with the Gascoigne Road junction improvement scheme, an estimate of the road traffic associated with a private container port scheme in Tsim Sha Tsui, and a study of the rate of dispersal of racegoers from the Happy Valley racecourse after a race meeting.
