Q Should the Sai Kung waterfront be turned into a pedestrian area?
Ian Seabourne, the Wong Tai Sin district police commander, suggested turning the Sai Kung waterfront into a pedestrian area. It is generally a very good idea.
It will definitely benefit most people, visitors, residents and Sai Kung businesses alike.
However, it will not be the solution to solving the problem of 'car jockeys'.
Sai Kung is very congested with traffic, especially on weekends and holidays.
People are driving their cars on the few roads in Sai Kung town, trying to park their cars in what they think is the most convenient spot.
The car parks are also difficult to find for visitors, and it could well be that one car park is full and cars are queuing in front, while others are fairly empty. Perhaps, it would be helpful if the authority considered putting up signs with clear directions and also indications about how many spaces are available at each car park.
