Crhk · 2 SOURCESabout 1 hour ago4 MIN
Summary
The Transport Department has unveiled dedicated public transport lanes connecting Fanling Highway and Tin Sha Highway directly to New Sham Chung Road, ahead of the new Huanggang Port's opening. The new infrastructure allows franchised buses, cross-border buses, and green minibuses to bypass the繁忙的 Tin Sha Interchange and proceed straight to New Sham Chung Road and the new border crossing. Authorities are warning private vehicle drivers to watch for signage and choose their lanes accordingly.
Key Points
- Dedicated public transport lanes now operate on the Tin Sha Highway northbound slip road to New Sham Chung Road
- A second set of exclusive lanes runs along the Fanling Highway northbound slip road to New Sham Chung Road
- Only franchised buses, cross-border buses, and green minibuses are permitted to use the new lanes
- The lanes enable direct access to the new Huanggang Port without passing through Tin Sha Interchange
- Drivers of non-designated vehicles must heed traffic signs and road markings to avoid violations
Why It Matters
The new border crossing at Huanggang is expected to handle significantly increased cross-boundary traffic, and these exclusive lanes should reduce congestion by keeping public transport flowing separately from private vehicles. Commuters using buses and minibuses will enjoy shorter and more predictable travel times to the port, enhancing the appeal of cross-boundary public transport services .
