Road Safety Measures

Road Safety Check for Existing Roads

Since 2007, Highways Department (HyD) and Transport Department (TD) have been jointly conducting Road Safety Check on existing roads with speed limit of 70km/h or above to enhance road safety performance. To further enhance the safety condition of existing roads, HyD and TD embarked on a consultancy study in May 2018 to review and identify the potential roadside safety hazards of all public roads in Hong Kong through comprehensive and systematic safety check.

The consultants will formulate the strategy for taking forward enhancement measures to address the potential roadside safety hazards, including the priority for implementation of such measures, with respect to a number of factors including prevailing traffic conditions and site constraints of the concerned locations, etc. HyD and TD will review the consultants’ findings and implement the enhancement measures progressively through various works projects.

The consultants will also research on the latest overseas development and technologies and investigate whether such technologies are suitable for application locally to address the potential roadside safety hazards through conducting trials at suitable locations.
