Proposed Vehicular Ferry Services 1972
9.83 Using data on cross-harbour vehicular movements by ferry collected in 1970, an assignment of vehicles to new cross-harbour vehicular ferry routes was made.
Cross Harbour Tunnel Utilization by Public Transport
9.84 An assessment was made of the number of passengers likely to be diverted from the passenger ferries to a cross-harbour bus service under various combinations of routing and fare structures.
Freight Vehicle Operations Survey
9.85 With the assistance of some 50 university students during the summer holidays, a survey was carried out to study the operating characteristics and economics of goods vehicle operations in the Colony. The survey included interviews, questionnaires, cordon counts, overnight parking enumerations and refueling records.
Speed Studies
9.86 Speed studies on a large number of roads were carried out and criteria for the imposition of speed limits were established.
Miscellaneous Studies
9.87 Other surveys undertaken included observation of vehicular and pedestrian movements at some fifty pedestrian problem locations; a 'before-and-after' study of the effects of prohibiting vehicles other than buses from picking up and setting down passengers on Shanghai Street and Reclamation Street, a survey of the efficiency of various traffic signal settings for the Nathan Road Linked Signals, a survey to determine the siting of a ferry pier to replace the one at Wilmer Street, a survey to determine the adequacy of the piers serving the outlying districts ferries, delay measurements at a railway underpass on Tai Po Road, a 'before-and-after' study of the effects of prohibiting heavy vehicles from using a steep section of Tai Po Road during peak hours and a study of the effects of making Chater Road a pedestrian precinct on weekends. In addition, a glossary of traffic engineering terms was prepared (with a Chinese translation).
