Subject:敬祖路用車限制 (Case Ref: 2-4763037333)
Dear X,
Regarding your case dated 15/09/2018, the reply of the Transport Department is as follows –
"In accordance with Road Traffic (Traffic Control) Regulations, except for franchised buses and vehicles with valid permit, all vehicles exceeding 10 metres in length or the gross vehicle weight over 23 tonnes are currently restricted to enter the subject road sections of King Cho Road, Joint Street and Wah Yiu Road. Otherwise, one may be prosecuted.
In response to bus company’s request to use 12m long buses for travelling on King Cho Road, this Department conducted two 12m bus trial runs with bus company on King Cho Road on 20 December 2017 and 5 January 2018. The bus company has deployed 12m long buses of different models for the trial runs. During the two trial runs, it was observed that all buses had encroached upon and beyond the existing double white lines and moved onto the footpath when maneuvering along the bend sections near the OUHK - CITA Lai King Learning Centre and the Cho Yiu Catholic Primary School.
Please note that most if not all alignment and configuration of a section of road is unique, such as their combination of curvature, width of carriageway, speed limit, location of pedestrian crossing, vehicular access, public transport facility, etc. Therefore, in principle any traffic management measures to be imposed on each road section should be considered on individual merit.
Nevertheless, this Department had conducted a review on the alignment of King Cho Road to see whether any improvement works could be carried out to facilitate the use of 12m buses. Due to the existing constraints, such as horizontal and vertical curvatures, the existing slopes and developments, local accesses, public transport facilities, etc., widening of King Cho Road for 12m long bus was considered not technically feasible / highly undesirable. This revealed that 12m long vehicle travelling on King Cho Road would cause potential hazard to other road users. Therefore, bus company’s proposal on using 12m buses on King Cho Road was not supported.
Thank you for your kind attention on regional traffic matters."
