Boundary Control

Vehicular traffic through the three control points at Lok Ma Chau, Man
Kam To and Sha Tau Kok increased substantially from a daily average of
24 361 vehicles in 1996 to 26 035 in 1997. To cope with further increases
in cross-boundary traffic in the future, expansion of customs facilities has
started at Lok Ma Chau and Sha Tau Kok Control Points, and Kowloon
Railway Station. In March, the commissioning of the new shuttle-bus
service between Lok Ma Chau and Huanggang partly alleviated pressure at
the Lo Wu railway crossing. Preparations are well advanced to extend the
opening hours at Sha Tau Kok Control Point by two hours.
