Urgently need your support to save the natural beauty of the Old Peak Road, The Peak
17 January 2009 - 7:45pm
The government is going to erect railings along the Old Peak Road, The Peak based on having received ONE complaint saying the road is dangerous.
We do not have any support statistic to show the Old Peak Road is dangerous.
The railings will definitely reduce the natural beauty and value of the Path and it's wasting of public money.
For exact location of the proposed railings, please refer to the attached map;
For the reference of the type of the railings; please refer to the attached file.

Railings at Old Peak Road
VLeung: I just saw your posting. I have resided on Old Peak Road for over 11 years and have complained repeatedly to the Transport Department regarding installation of a large number of traffic signs (including large arrow signs) at Old Peak Road since July 2008. Please contact me to discuss this matter as I did not know there were other Old Peak Road residents who are unhappy about this issue. And you are correct--the Transport Department has no supporting statistics to show that Old Peak Road is dangerous. In fact, at the top of Old Peak Road where the large arrow signs have been installed, the Transport Department has admitted to me that there has never been a traffic accident in this area. Transport is concerned that Old Peak Road is one of the "steepest" roads in Hong Kong, and in order to protect public safety, a large number of traffic signs have been installed. Melanie Moore
