Journey time indication system expands
*
Transport Department

Six new sets of journey time indicators installed in Kowloon and Eastern District on Hong Kong Island have been commissioned to provide more cross-harbour journey time information.

 

They are at Ferry Street southbound near Charming Garden, Gascoigne Road eastbound near Polytechnic University, Waterloo Road southbound near Kowloon Hospital, Princess Margaret Road southbound near Oi Man Estate, Chatham Road North southbound near Fat Kwong Street Playground, Kai Fuk Road northbound near the petrol stations, and on the Island Eastern Corridor westbound near Lei King Wan.

 

As with the existing three sets of journey time indicators on Hong Kong Island, the new signs display the average journey time in minutes from the location of the indicators to the exit of the respective tunnels.

 

The displayed digits are shown in three colours for different traffic conditions. Red represents congestion, amber indicates slow traffic and green smooth traffic.

 

The system operates on a 24-hour basis and the displayed times are refreshed every two minutes. The journey time information have been uploaded to the department's website and PDA site.

 

Call 2804 2655 to listen to the latest journey time information of each journey time indicator. Enquiries can be made by calling 1823.
