The Transport Department (TD) today (December 14) reminded the public that special traffic arrangements will be implemented in Stanley this Saturday (December 16) and Sunday (December 17) to facilitate the holding of an event at Stanley Plaza, including:

* The section of Stanley New Street between Stanley Village Road and Stanley Market Road will be intermittently closed from 10am to 7pm (except for vehicles of local residents, persons with disabilities, the Police and emergency services); and

* The implementation hours of pedestrian precincts on Stanley Market Road and Stanley Main Street will be extended from 10am till 11pm on Saturday, and from 10am till 8pm on Sunday.

     The TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity and its approach roads will be busy on the above days. Members of the public are advised to use public transport services as far as possible, or to consider the free shuttle services provided by the event organiser (please refer to www.linkhk.com/en/promotion/ for details). Due to limited parking spaces in the area, those who have not reserved parking spaces with the event organiser should avoid driving to the vicinity. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in the case of traffic congestion and follow the Police's instructions.

     Details of the special traffic arrangements are now available on the department's website (www.td.gov.hk).
