     Depending on the prevailing traffic condition of Lam Kam Road, vehicles heading for southbound Lam Kam Road must use the leftmost lane of northbound Tolo Highway outside Ma Wo and Lam Kam Road Interchange from 10am to 6pm daily between January 22 and 29, except for franchised buses, coaches, green minibuses, taxis, and authorised vehicles. The slip road leading from Tai Po Tai Wo Road to northbound Tolo Highway will be closed. Vehicles heading for the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree from Tai Po Tai Wo Road must travel via southbound Tolo Highway, Kwong Fuk Interchange, eastbound Tai Po Road – Yuen Chau Tsai, Tolo Highway slip road, northbound Tolo Highway, the nearside hard shoulder on the affected section of northbound Tolo Highway, and Lam Kam Road Interchange.

     All vehicles cannot enter southbound She Shan Road via Lam Kam Road from noon to 6pm daily between January 22 and January 29.

     To ensure road safety and smooth traffic flow, Police will continue to take traffic enforcement action during the Lunar New Year period, including multiple ticketing and towing away illegally parked vehicles without prior warning. The operation will, in particular, target those causing danger to other road users, or seriously obstructing traffic flow and access of emergency vehicles.
