The Transport Department (TD) today (December 8) reminded the public that special traffic arrangements will be implemented in Stanley this Saturday (December 10), this Sunday (December 11), next Saturday (December 17) and next Sunday (December 18) to facilitate the holding of an event at Stanley Plaza, including:

* The section of Stanley New Street between Stanley Village Road and Stanley Market Road will be intermittently closed from noon to 9pm (except for vehicles of local residents, the disabled, police and emergency services).

* The implementation hours of the pedestrian precincts on Stanley Main Street and Stanley Market Road will be changed to 7am till 11pm.

     The TD anticipates the traffic in the vicinity and its approach roads will be busy on the above days. Members of the public are advised to use public transport services as far as possible, or to consider the free shuttle services or "Park and Ride" arrangements provided by the organiser (please refer to www.linkhk.com/EN/promotions for details). Due to limited parking spaces in the area, those who have not reserved the parking spaces with the organiser should avoid driving to the vicinity. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in the case of traffic congestion and follow police instructions.

     Details of the special traffic arrangements are now available on the department's website (www.td.gov.hk).
