Saturday, October 28, saw yet another day of traffic chaos and congestion in the Causeway Bay and Happy Valley areas, due to the traffic restrictions caused by the race meeting at Happy Valley racecourse.
It took more than one hour to drive from Central to Happy Valley and more than 40 minutes to get out from Happy Valley back to Central again.
Whether you are in a private car, a bus, tram or public light bus, this is now the normal situation for Wednesday night race meets and the odd weekend meet.
In the 1800s when there was little traffic and few houses in the Causeway Bay and Happy Valley area, a racecourse visited by a few hundred people was no problem.
In the year 2000, in an area which is now totally congested with both traffic and people, having a racetrack visited by thousands of people is ridiculous.
When the huge development at Leighton Hill is completed next year the situation will be made even worse, as Link Road and Ventris Road are a nightmare on normal days, let alone race days.
