Crowd safety management measures
--------------------------------
Police will implement crowd safety management measures to facilitate a meeting and procession in the Victoria Park (the Park), Causeway Bay on October 1.
In addition to the said event, the Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnivals 2017 is also being held at Victoria Park. In anticipation of a large number of people in the area, Police will implement temporary crowd safety management measures and traffic control to facilitate the public to go to the Park.
The procession participants will gather at the Central Lawn of the Park at 2pm and set off for the public meeting venue in Central at 3pm. However, the procession has to commence when the participants have occupied about 85 per cent of the Central Lawn. The public procession will route through Causeway Road via Gate 15, Leighton Road, Irving Street, Pennington Street, Yee Wo Street, Hennessy Road, Queensway, Rodney Street, Harcourt Road, Tim Mei Avenue, and then reach the Designated Public Activities Area outside Central Government Complex.
After the public procession starts, participants who wish to enter the Central Lawn from Causeway Bay should enter through Gate 6 and Gate 7, along West Boulevard and North Boulevard. For entry from Tin Hau, access should be made through East Boulevard and North Boulevard, via Gate 14 on Hing Fat Street.
The road crossing zones outside SOGO Department Store and at Paterson Street will be closed. Past experience has shown that many procession participants will join the main procession departing from the Park by crossing Yee Wo Street at these two points, causing serious obstruction and delay to the main procession from the Park. This will also affect the traffic at the eastbound carriageway and its role as emergency vehicles access, bringing risks to public safety and public order. Procession participants are requested not to jam in at these two points. Members of the public who intend to cross Yee Wo Street can use the subway of MTR Causeway Bay Station or Sugar Street footbridge and Percival Street footbridge.
Participants who wish to leave upon arrival or during the meeting may leave the venue along northbound Tim Mei Avenue, eastbound Lung Wui Road and eastbound Harcourt Road. They should pay attention to announcements made by the organiser and follow instructions given by Police for a safe departure.
Police appeal to the event participants to remain calm and be considerate, and express their views in a peaceful manner.

Crowd safety management measures in Tsim Sha Tsui
-------------------------------------------------
Police will implement crowd safety management measures in Yau Tsim Police District and Hung Hom Waterfront Promenade, including pedestrianising roads at Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom Waterfront Promenade in phases.
Depending on the prevailing crowd situation, Police will adopt safety measures within the pedestrianised area, including the closure of pedestrian subways and putting up of barriers. One-way flow will also be applied in the vicinity of the waterfront promenade and crowded footbridges. If necessary, restrictions will be put into force by MTR Corporation on the access to MTR stations.
The vicinity of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Clock Tower are popular vantage points. When these areas are saturated, spectators will be diverted to Tsim Sha Tsui East or other areas.
In addition, there are construction works at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station Exit D1 at Nathan Road near Carnarvon Road, construction sites of Express Railway Link and Xiqu Centre at Austin Road West, and maintenance works in the Avenue of Stars and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Relevant government departments have erected hoardings and barriers to seal off the areas concerned with notices displayed. Members of the public should not enter the construction sites nor climb or lean against the hoardings for the sake of safety.
Police appeal to the public to follow the instructions given by Police officers and take heed of notice signs and broadcasts at scene. To avoid causing obstruction or potential danger in crowded area, members of the public are also urged not to use snow or aerosol spray or conduct street performance.
