Right side of road the only way to travel on Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge
Toll fees will also need to be paid in yuan, says bridge authority seeking to address concerns by giving ‘authoritative answers’ to questions
Drivers from Hong Kong must pay with renminbi and follow mainland China traffic rules by keeping to the right if they cross the mega bridge linking the city to Macau and Zhuhai.
And the number of Hong Kong cars which can directly enter Macau will be capped at 300, the Transport Department announced on Tuesday, a far cry from the quota of 10,000 to get into the mainland.
Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung Kin-chung earlier indicated the bridge will be ready this year, but stopped short of providing a specific date.
In what is regarded as a breakthrough, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Authority, the operator jointly formed by the three cities, sought to address some of the concerns by giving “authoritative answers” to eight questions on its social media account on Tuesday.
Regardless of origin or destination, tolls on the bridge will be paid in renminbi.
