*The section of Stanley New Street between Stanley Village Road and Stanley Market Road will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 11am to 6pm daily on the above dates (except for vehicles of local residents, police, emergency services and vehicles with permits).

*Pedestrian precincts will be implemented on Stanley Market Road and the section of Stanley New Street between Stanley Market Road and Stanley Main Street on the following dates and hours:

*The services of Citybus route Nos. 63, 65 and 260, and green minibus route Nos. 40, 40X and 52 will be strengthened subject to passenger demand during the event.

The TD anticipates the traffic in the vicinity of Stanley and its approach roads will be busy during the holding of the event. Members of the public should use public transport services as far as possible, or consider using the free shuttle bus and ferry services provided by the event organiser. Due to the limited number of parking spaces at Stanley Plaza, motorists who have not reserved parking spaces with the event organiser should avoid driving to the vicinity. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience when traffic is congested and follow the instructions of the Police.

For details of the special traffic and transport arrangements, members of the public can browse the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) or mobile application "HKeMobility". They should also pay attention to the latest traffic news through the media.
