Special traffic arrangements in Stanley from this Saturday

**********************************************************

     The Transport Department (TD) today (December 4) reminded the public that special traffic arrangements will be implemented in Stanley for three consecutive weekends starting from this Saturday (December 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22) 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 11am to 6pm (except for vehicles with a permit, vehicles of persons with disabilities and emergency services vehicles); and

* The effective hours of pedestrian precincts on Stanley Market Road will be extended. The effective hours will be from 11am to 11pm on Saturdays (December 7, 14 and 21) and from 11am to 9pm on Sundays (December 8, 15 and 22).

     The TD anticipates 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/325 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 police instructions.

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