Parking: There are about 6 100 parking spaces in 12
government multi-storey car parks and one open-air car
park managed by the Transport Department by end June
2015. These car parks are managed by two private
operators. There are an estimated some 686 000
additional spaces, of which about 197 000 are for public
use and about 489 000 are designated for private use in
commercial, residential and industrial premises.
If traffic situation permits, Transport Department would
provide on-street parking spaces at appropriate locations
to address the demand. To deter prolonged parking, onstreet
parking spaces are metered in areas where spaces
are limited but demands are high. Currently, about 18 000
on-street parking spaces are metered, most of them
operate from 8 am to 12 midnight on weekdays and from
10 am to 10 pm on Sundays and public holidays.
