results were issued half-yearly. In order to facilitate the study of the yearly growth of traffic and the variation of travel patterns through the year an annual summary of the results was also made.
Parking Survey
9.54. A comprehensive parking survey was carried out to establish the car parking demand in the urban areas. The survey began towards the end of July 1969 and was scheduled to be completed in one year's time. It included the collection of data on the amount and type of off-street and on-street parking facilities currently available, and the extent to which these were used. The results of the survey were analysed to assess parking demand assuming the present level of restraint and to establish to what extent this demand could be met. In order to make the collected information available to interested departments and sub-departments, interim reports in the form of technical notes were issued at appropriate stages of the study.
Traffic Generation at Kai Tak Airport
9.55. In July the report of 'The Hong Kong Airport Ground Traffic Study' was published. The Study thoroughly examined the degree of competition for road space between the needs of the airport and other road users as well as the implications of the extremely rapid growth anticipated in air passenger and air cargo traffic over the next ten years, thereby ascertaining the extent to which the proposed improvement of the road network in north-east Kowloon would meet the demand of ground traffic associated with the growth in airport activities. A study of the vehicular traffic generated by the airport was repeated in September to measure any significant difference of travel pattern in the peak season. The field work involved interviews of vehicle drivers and pedestrians at approaches leading to the airport.
Cross-Harbour Vehicle Movement by Ferry
9.56. A study of the travel characteristics of motorists using the cross-harbour vehicular ferry services was made in August and September to establish the pattern of cross-harbour vehicle movement, with a view to ascertaining the type of service required by the public. It comprised an interview of vehicle drivers on board vehicular ferries. The results were also used to predict travel demand in the design year 1986.
