Pedestrian Schemes for Wan Chai

There are substantial commercial, retail and other economic activities in Wan Chai. Insufficient road space to accommodate both vehicular traffic and pedestrians also contributes to traffic accidents. In order to improve the environment and safety for pedestrians, Transport Department is examining the feasibility of implementing pedestrian schemes in the crowded parts of Wan Chai. These include:

Stage 1 (2002-2006)

(1) Part-time Pedestrian Street

The part time pedestrian street for Tai Yuen Street (section between Johnston Road and Cross Street) has been operating from 10:00a.m. to 6:00p.m. daily since mid 2002.
