Street scene Causeway Bay HK.
In many countries which have been under British rule, and this also applies for Hong Kong, traffic moves on the left side of the road. All other major traffic rules, as well as further tips for safe driving, are listed in the Road User’s Code issued by the Transport Department. Below is some information on the most important regulations.
The usual speed limit on all roads is 50 km/h. On major roads within the city, traffic can legally move as fast as 70 km/h, 80 km/h, 100 km/h, or 110 km/h. High speed zones are always clearly marked.
You may overtake only on the right unless there are traffic queues. If there is a double white line on the street, with the solid line closer to you than the dotted one, you are forbidden to cross the line and overtake other cars. Original public domain image from Flickr
