Some existing roads are close to dwellings and are causing noise disturbances to nearby residents at night. However, retrofitting noise barriers/ enclosures or provision of low noise road surfaces on existing roads may not be practicable. Therefore, non-engineering solutions such as traffic management and pedestrian schemes have been explored to reduce traffic noise to nearby residents. Traffic Management Scheme A traffic management
scheme is being implemented in 3 areas to ban certain types of vehicles
from using some streets at night to reduce traffic noise. |

| Pedestrian Scheme Apart from the traffic management scheme, pedestrianisation can also reduce traffic noise affecting residents. Pedestrianisation is being implemented at Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Sham Shui Po, Stanley, Sheung Shui, Jordan and a section of Tai Yuen Street in Wan Chai. The figure below shows pedestrianisation of streets in Jordan. |
