5 1 Introduction 緒言 1.1 All road works cause inconvenience and are a potential hazard to the safety of road users, including those employed in carrying out the works. It is the duty of those responsible for road works to ensure that these effects are mitigated or reduced to a minimum, and to ensure that works are properly lit, signed and guarded. The need to provide clear and early warning of any obstruction is most essential. 1.2 With the high traffic densities in the Territory and the continuing development of high speed roads, it is important that those responsible for road works give more thought and pay more attention to detail than they have found necessary in the past. It is essential for the safety of all concerned that uniform and consistent procedures should be adopted on all roads throughout the Territory. This Code is intended to provide a standard of good practice for the marking of obstructions as well as for the temporary traffic control necessitated by such obstructions. 1.3 This Code of Practice does not cover every eventuality and those responsible should use the principles set out in this Code and obtain approval, where necessary, from the appropriate authorities for situations not covered by the Code. 1.1 所有道路工程都會造成不便, 亦可能會危及道路使用者, 包括進行工程的人員 因此, 負責道路工程的人員有責任確保把這些影響減輕或降至最低程度, 以及確保工程有適當的照明 標誌及防護 為障礙物提供清楚的預先警告是非常重要 1.2 由於本港車輛稠密, 高速公路不斷發展, 負責道路工程的人員應較以往更仔細地考慮和留意各項細節 為各有關人士的安全起見, 實有必要在本港所有道路採用相同和一致的程序 本守則的目的是針對障礙物以及由此所需的臨時交通管制, 提供一套妥善的工作準則 1.3 本工作守則並不包括所有可能出現的情況, 因此對於未有包括在內的情況, 負責道路工程的人員應遵照本守則所列的原則, 並在有需要時, 呈請有關當局批准 Definitions 1.4 approach speed means the 85 percentile speed in free flow condition of light vehicles on the approach to the road works location. In case of doubt, the Transport Department should be consulted. Code means this Code of Practice for the Lighting, Signing and Guarding of Road Works. Director s Representative means the Regional Highway Engineer or Chief Highway Engineer of Highways Department. 定義 1.4 來車速度指在通往道路工程地點的進路上, 輕型車輛在無阻的情況下的 85 百分位車速 如有疑問, 應諮詢運輸署 守則指本道路工程的照明 標誌及防護工作守則 署長代表指路政署助理署長或路政署總工程師 1

7 2 quirements General Legal Re 法律規定 總則 2.1 The majority of obstructions arise from planned works which are generally identified well in advance of the actual commencement date. There is no excuse, therefore, for not planning for the provision of the correct lighting, signing and guarding as required by the Ordinance and the Code. Failure to comply with the legal requirements may render the person responsible liable to prosecution, and it is stressed that anyone responsible for road works should obtain their own copy of the Ordinance and the Regulations to familiarize themselves with the requirements. 2.2 The Code sets out a standard of good practice to enable the legal requirements to be met in a wide variety of circumstances. Its provisions should be adhered to as a general standard of good practice at all time. 2.3 The legal requirements governing traffic issues of road works are stipulated in the Ordinance and the Regulations, a summary of which is given in the following paragraphs. For the precise meaning of the law and representation of prescribed signs, the Ordinance and the Regulations should be referred to. Changes in the legislation may render parts of the Code incorrect. In all instances, the prevailing legislation takes precedence. 2.1 通常在確實施工日期前, 策劃工程的人員已可估計大部分會出現的障礙物 因此, 如果有關人員未有計劃提供符合條例及守則所規定的正確照明 標誌和防護設施, 實屬難辭其咎 如未遵守法律的規定, 其負責人有被起訴之虞 負責道路工程的人員均應自備一份條例及規例, 並應熟習各項規定 2.2 本守則訂下了優良的工作準則, 使有關人員在不同環境下均能遵守各項法律的規定 守則內的條款是作為優良工作的一般標準, 有關人員在任何時間均應依從 2.3 道路工程中管制交通事宜的法律規定已載於條例及規例中, 下文是有關撮要 關於法律及訂明標誌的確實意思, 應參考條例及規例的原文 法例的改動會令部分守則有誤, 故在所有情況下, 應優先遵照現行法例 Road Traffic Ordinance (Cap. 374) 2.4 This is the principal Ordinance concerning road traffic matters, and from this stems the Road Traffic (Traffic Control) Regulations (Cap. 374G) which contain the particular regulations pertaining to the lighting, signing and guarding of road works. The Ordinance empowers the Director of Highways to prescribe a code of practice for the lighting, signing and guarding of road works. 道路交通條例 ( 第 374 章 ) 2.4 這是有關道路交通事項的主要條例, 由這條例產生道路交通 ( 交通管制 ) 規例 ( 第 374G 章 ), 包括與道路工程照明 標誌及防護有關的特別規例 這條例授權路政署署長就有關道路工程的照明 標誌及防護制訂一套工作守則 3

8 Legal Requirements 法律規定 Road Traffic (Traffic Control) Regulations (Cap. 374G) 道路交通 ( 交通管制 ) 規例 ( 第 374G 章 ) 2.5 Regulation 20 on provision of lights and signs at road works places on the person responsible for road works a clear obligation to erect and maintain prescribed lanterns, traffic signs and road markings and to locate them in the manner set down in the Code. In addition, Schedule 5 requires barriers to be placed in accordance with the Code. 2.5 有關道路工程燈號及標誌的第 20 條規例明確規定, 道路工程負責人須豎立及保持豎立訂明的燈具 交通標誌及道路標記, 並按照守則所定方式放設 另外, 附表 5 要求防欄的設置, 須符合守則的規定 Note : Prescribed lanterns, traffic signs and road markings are defined as lanterns, signs, portable light signals and road markings of the size, colour and type prescribed in the Regulations. Any non-prescribed equipment will be illegal obstructions if placed on any part of a road, unless the permission of the Commissioner for Transport or the Director of Highways or the Director s Representative has been given. Road Traffic (Construction and Maintenance of Vehicles) Regulations (Cap. 374A) 注意 : 訂明的危險警告燈 交通標誌及道路標記, 應解釋為符合規例內訂明的尺寸 顏色和種類的危險警告燈 標誌 活動交通燈及道路標記 除獲得運輸署署長或路政署署長或署長代表批准外, 在道路的任何一部分設置任何非訂明的裝備均被視作違例障礙物處理 道路交通 ( 車輛構造及保養 ) 規例 ( 第 374A 章 ) 2.6 The Regulations require the use of amber lamps on vehicles, other than by certain Government departments, to be authorized by the Commissioner for Transport, and prescribe the size, type and mounting details. 2.6 這規例要求在車輛上使用的琥珀色燈必須獲得運輸署署長批准, 某些政府部門的車輛除外 本規例亦規定燈的尺寸 種類和裝置詳情 Road Traffic (Expressway) Regulations (Cap. 374Q) 2.7 The Regulations require the persons carrying out expressway works, whilst on foot on any part of expressway, to wear reflective jackets and the vehicles used in connection therewith to be coloured bright yellow and installed with flashing lanterns and warning signs. The definition of expressway works is given in the Ordinance. Basically, expressway works cover any type of works carried out on expressways and include inspection, investigation and survey. 道路交通 ( 快速公路 ) 規例 ( 第 374Q 章 ) 2.7 這規例要求在快速公路上工作的人, 如在快速公路任何部分上步行, 須穿上反光外衣, 其相關使用的車輛須髹上鮮黃色, 亦應有閃光燈具及警告標誌 條例已對 快速公路工程 作出定義 基本上, 快速公路工程是指任何在快速公路上進行的工程, 並包括視察 勘查及測量等工作 4

9 3 Planning for Road Works 道路工程的策劃 Works Programme 3.1 It is essential that road works are carefully planned in advance, and that proper consultations take place prior to and during the works. The works themselves must be carried out in such a way as to cause minimum disruption to traffic whether it be vehicular or pedestrian. To ensure that this is achieved, a works programme should be prepared. Although for the majority of works this will only be for the person responsible s own use, for other works it may be a requirement of any permit issued or permission given. Consultation 3.2 Where major disruption to traffic, either vehicular or pedestrian, could occur as a result of the works, consultation with the Police, the Transport Department and the Highways Department should take place well in advance of the commencement of any works. Failure to do this may result in the works being stopped. Such consultation should take place regardless of whether or not an excavation permit is required. In addition, consultation with the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation or the Hong Kong Tramways Limited must take place before any works are carried out adjacent to level crossings of the Light Rail or the tramway. 3.3 If the obstruction requires the width of a single carriageway to be reduced such that there is only sufficient room for one-lane two-way traffic, the person responsible must inform the Police. If the means of control is by the use of portable light signals then the Director s Representative must also be informed. 工程計劃 3.1 進行道路工程前, 須預先仔細策劃, 並在工程進行前和進行期間適當諮詢當局 工程必須在盡量減少影響車輛和行人交通的情況下進行 為確保達到此目的, 便需要制訂工程計劃 雖然對於大部分工程而言, 這計劃只供負責人使用, 但對於其他工程而言, 當局可能要求先有這計劃才會發出任何准許證或給予批准 諮詢 3.2 如工程可能嚴重影響車輛或行人交通, 必須在進行工程前預早諮詢警務處 運輸署和路政署, 否則有可能被勒令停工 無論是否需要挖掘准許證, 均應諮詢有關當局 另外, 在輕鐵或電車的平交道口進行任何工程前, 必須先諮詢九廣鐵路公司或香港電車有限公司 3.3 如障礙物令不分隔車路收窄, 以至只有足夠空間提供單綫雙向行車, 負責人必須通知警務處 如使用活動交通燈管制交通, 亦須通知署長代表 5

10 Planning for Road Works 道路工程的策劃 3.4 Any works involving the reduction of available traffic lanes in respect of a major traffic route should avoid if possible the peak traffic hours. Relevant Government departments may impose peak hour working restriction for works on major routes and/or require the carrying out of a traffic impact assessment to assess the effect on traffic flow and to determine appropriate arrangements for the works to be carried out. Relevant Government departments should be consulted well in advance should it be necessary to operate clearway restriction. Failure to do so may result in the works being stopped. Lighting, Signing and Guarding Equipment 3.5 Planning for road works includes not only how the works are to be carried out but also how the works are to be lit, signed and guarded. It is essential that proper and adequate lanterns, traffic signs and guarding equipment are available for the various stages of the works. The types of common traffic management devices are described in Chapter The person responsible should prepare layout plans showing the lanterns, traffic signs and guarding equipment to be used to ensure that the necessary equipment is available when required, and also that the site staff clearly understand where, and what, equipment is to be used. For works which require the lighting, signing and guarding to be varied in any way during the works, a separate plan showing each different phase should also be prepared. 3.4 在交通繁忙時間, 應盡可能避免在主要交通路線上進行任何涉及減少現有行車綫的工程 有關政府部門可對主要交通路線上的工程實施繁忙時間工程限制及 / 或規定需進行交通影響評估, 以評估對交通流量的影響, 以及為將進行的工程制定適當安排 如要實施禁止上落客貨區的限制, 應預早諮詢有關政府部門, 否則有可能被勒令停工 照明 標誌及防護設備 3.5 道路工程計劃不但包括工程如何進行, 還包括如何為工程設置照明 標誌及防護 在工程進行的各階段均須有適當和足夠的警告燈 交通標誌及防護設備 常用的交通管理設備在第 4 章說明 3.6 負責人應製定警告燈 交通標誌及防護設備的分佈圖則, 以確保能提供所需的設備, 及使工地人員清楚明白在何處使用何種設備 對於在工程進行期間需要改變照明 標誌及防護設備, 則應同時準備每個不同階段的圖則 6

11 Traffic Management for Road Works 3.7 Proper planning of the traffic management for road works is essential so as to minimize inconvenience and prevent potential hazard to road users. The requirements in respect of the arrangement of traffic management devices for road works are described in Chapter 5. Particular aspects that should be attended to by the person responsible for works on footway, verge and central reservation, on carriageway and on expressway are highlighted in Chapters 6, 7 and 8 respectively. 3.8 If it is necessary to occupy part of a road to erect protective fencing for slope repair works, the person responsible should seek the agreement of the Director s Representative on the construction details and safety measures. The fencing should be free-standing on the pavement surface wherever possible and must make provision for vehicular impact protection (such as water-filled barrier). The method of excavating pits in the carriageway to form foundations for the fence posts should only be adopted as a last resort. In such cases an allowance must be made for the complete reconstruction of the road pavement over the whole lane width and for the whole length of the affected section after removal of the fencing. 道路工程的交通管理 3.7 道路工程的交通管理必需有適當的策劃, 以減少對道路使用者做成不便及避免可能危及道路使用者 有關交通管理設備安排的要求在第 5 章說明 而在行人路 路邊和中央分道帶上 在車路上以及在快速公路上進行道路工程時需注意的特別事項, 則分別在第 6 7 和 8 章提及 3.8 如需佔用部分道路, 以豎設斜坡修葺工程所需的保護性圍欄, 負責人應就建造細節及安全措施方面取得署長代表的同意 圍欄應盡可能獨立地擺放於路面上, 並須有防撞設施 ( 如注水護欄 ) 在車路上挖洞以作為欄柱地基的做法, 只應作為非不得已下才採用的方法 如出現這種情況, 則須預備在拆除圍欄後全面重建路面, 範圍包括整條行車綫的闊度及受影響的全段道路 7

17 Pedestrian Barriers Obstructions and excavations should be adequately guarded at all times for the safety of all pedestrians. Pedestrians should be guarded from the works and vehicles by means of continuous pedestrian barriers which clearly delineate the works and trafficked carriageway and warn pedestrians of their presence. Pedestrian barriers should be provided on those sides of an obstruction that restrict pedestrian flows or are accessible to pedestrians, whether or not there is any special reason to expect blind or visually handicapped people passing that location. They should be placed with sufficient clearance to excavations, materials or plant to prevent dangers to pedestrians. 行人防欄 4.21 障礙物及挖掘處不論何時均需有足夠的防護, 以保障行人的安全 行人與工地及車輛之間應有連續的行人防欄隔開, 以清楚標示工地及行車路, 以及警告行人 不論有否特別理由預計該處會有失明或視障人士經過, 行人防欄應設置於阻礙行人流量或行人可到達的障礙物的旁邊地方 防欄應與挖掘處 物料或機械保持足夠距離, 避免危害行人 4.22 Pedestrian barriers should have a height of at least 900 mm. They should be stable under adverse weather conditions and be substantial, and should not be easily toppled or moved by pedestrians or slipstreams of moving traffic. They should be made of metal or plastic and should be designed to effectively restrict pedestrian access and not to obstruct visibility. The barriers should have a handrail of at least 900 mm but not exceeding 1150 mm above ground level, which should be reasonably smooth and rigid for guiding and providing some measure of support to pedestrians, and be provided with a tapping rail at not more than 280 mm above ground level 行人防欄應最少高 900 毫米, 在惡劣的天氣下仍然穩定 牢固和不應該輕易被行人或經過車輛所形成的氣流推倒或移動 行人防欄應以金屬或塑膠製造, 其設計應有效地限制行人通過及不可阻礙視線 防欄應有最少離地 900 毫米但不超過 1150 毫米的扶手, 扶手應合理地順滑及堅固以指引行人及給予行人某程度的支撐, 防欄並應有離地不多於 280 毫米的下橫檔 4.23 Pedestrian barriers when erected should provide a clear and uniform overall appearance. Therefore, the same type of barriers should be used on one site unless there is a need to use different types, e.g. metal barriers on footpath and plastic barriers on carriageways. Adjacent panels should be interlocked together without undue gaps affecting their guarding purpose. They should stand out conspicuously in contrast to the works behind them and are visible by day and night. They may be used to carry traffic signs or lanterns. Pedestrian barriers should be augmented by lanterns 4.23 行人防欄在豎設後應有一個清晰及一致的整體外表 所以在同一工地上只應使用單一類型防欄, 除非有使用不同類型的需要, 例如把金屬製防欄用於行人路和塑膠製防欄用於車路 相鄰的防欄須互相緊扣並不可有過大的空隙, 以影響其防護功能 它們應明顯易見, 與後面的工地有所分別, 並且日夜可見 它們可以用作安裝交通標誌或警告燈 行人防欄於黑夜時間須加裝警告燈 放在行車路上而毗鄰有車行駛的行車綫的行人防欄應該用塑膠製造, 並用交通圓筒作為防護 13

18 Traffic Management Devices for Road Works 道路工程使用的交通管理設備 during hours of darkness. Pedestrian barriers placed on carriageways adjacent to running traffic lanes should be of the plastic type and be guarded by a line of traffic cones Pedestrian barriers should not cause excessive damage to a vehicle that hits the barriers. Pedestrian barriers should not be used on the carriageway of expressways and roads with approach speed over 85 km/h. Pedestrian barriers with detachable horizontal members made of hard objects such as timber or steel poles must not be used as they constitute a serious hazard should a vehicle collide with them 如被車輛撞及, 行人防欄不應對車輛造成過多損毀 行人防欄不應在快速公路及來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的車路上使用 不可使用有由硬物, 例如木條或鐵條等組成的可拆除橫向組件的行人防欄, 因為如果車輛與它們相撞, 後果可能很嚴重 Temporary Barriers for Delineation 4.25 Temporary barriers for delineation may be used as an alternative to pedestrian barriers and cones to separate the trafficked carriageway from the adjacent footway or works zone of road works, especially for long term works. 作標示邊界用途的臨時防欄 4.25 作標示邊界用途的臨時防欄, 特別在長期工程當中, 可用作代替行人防欄及圓筒, 以分隔有車輛的車路及毗鄰行人路或道路工程的範圍 4.26 Temporary barriers for delineation should be of the water-filled type, which are usually proprietary-made water fillable plastic containers of various sizes and shapes with device for interlocking adjoining container units. The barriers should be at least 800 mm in height and should be filled with water to the appropriate level according to the operating instructions of the manufacturer. The barriers are heavier in weight and offer better resistance to displacement by vehicle as compared to pedestrian barriers and cones. For use as an alternative to pedestrian barriers, the temporary barriers should be placed with sufficient clearance from the traffic lane edge and designed to meet the requirements set out in paras , including the minimum height of 900 mm which may be provided by suitably designed extension of the barriers. If the top surface of the temporary barriers is smooth and is 4.26 作標示邊界用途的臨時防欄應是注水類型 注水防欄通常是特別製造的注水容器, 有多種尺寸和形狀, 以及有將相鄰容器互相緊扣的裝置 防欄須最少高 800 毫米, 並依從生產商的使用指引注水至適當的高度 該等防欄比較重, 與行人防欄及圓筒相比, 較難被車輛移位 在用作代替行人防欄時, 臨時防欄應與行車綫邊緣保持足夠距離及其設計應符合第 4.21 至 4.24 段的規定, 包括最少高 900 毫米, 經適當設計的防欄延伸可作此用途 如臨時防欄頂端的表面光滑, 並具有給予行人指引及支撐的能力, 則不需另設扶手 14

19 capable of providing guiding and support to pedestrians, provision of a separate handrail is not required The barriers should be marked such that they stand out conspicuously in contrast to the works behind them and are visible by day and night. For barriers placed adjacent to trafficked carriageways, all barrier faces adjoining the carriageways should be provided with retroreflective stripes of alternative red and white colours, or other contrasting colour combination. Also, road hazard warning lanterns should be provided during the hours of darkness (paras ) 防欄應有明顯標記, 使它們與其後面的工地有所分別, 並且日夜可見 如放置在行車路旁, 面向車路的防欄面須有紅白或其他對比強烈的顏色反光條 在黑夜時間, 須另外放置道路危險警告燈 ( 第 4.30 至 4.39 段 ) Work Zone Protection Barriers 4.28 Work zone protection barriers are used to prevent off-track vehicles from penetrating into the work zone. If there is a need to provide protection to adjacent footway or hazards, such as bridge piers and slopes, in association with the road works, such barriers may also be used. The type of barriers used should be approved by the Director s Representative. The barrier assembly and individual components must be designed to appropriate standard taking into account road conditions such as the approach speed, and be capable of absorbing the energy of colliding vehicle and thus minimizing damage and injuries to road works personnel, drivers, passengers and other road users. In particular, water-filled barriers must be filled according to the manufacturer s recommendation. If the barriers can be deflected when struck by vehicles, adequate buffer separation must be allowed for the deflection. 工地護欄 4.28 工地護欄用以防止偏離車路的車輛撞入工地 如有需要向與道路工程相關的毗鄰行人路或危險地方 ( 例如橋墩及斜坡 ) 提供保護, 亦可使用該等護欄 所使用的護欄類型, 須由署長代表認可 護欄組合和個別組件的設計須符合適當標準, 並考慮道路情況, 例如來車速度, 以及可抵受車輛撞擊的衝力, 減低損毀及對道路工程人員 車輛司機 乘客及其他道路使用者的傷害 尤其注水護欄必須根據製造商的建議注水 如護欄會被車輛撞至移位, 則須就移位程度預留足夠緩衝分隔 4.29 The barriers should stand out conspicuously and be provided with retroreflective stripes and road hazard warning lanterns as in accordance with para 如第 4.27 段所述, 護欄應明顯易見, 並應裝設反光條和道路危險警告燈 15

20 Traffic Management Devices for Road Works 道路工程使用的交通管理設備 Road Hazard Warning Lanterns 4.30 During the hours of darkness or at times of poor visibility, all obstructions or road works must be properly delineated with prescribed road hazard warning lanterns to indicate to road users the limits of the works. 道路危險警告燈 4.30 在黑夜時間中或當能見度低時, 所有障礙物或道路工程必須用規定的道路危險警告燈標示, 使道路使用者得知工程區的範圍 4.31 The colour of the light shown by a lantern shall be amber and the external surfaces of the body of the lantern shall be coloured yellow. Each lantern shall be fitted with a supplementary reflector of at least 50 cm 2 in area which must appear under headlamp illumination to be of a similar colour to the light emitted by the lantern 燈光顏色應為琥珀色, 而燈身的外層應為黃色 每盞警告燈應裝上一塊最小 50 平方厘米的輔助反光板, 並在車頭燈照明下發出與警告燈所射出的同樣顏色燈光 4.32 Lanterns may show an intermittent or revolving light. Flashing lanterns should have a flashing rate of times per minute. The following is a list of lantern types indicating where they should be used : Low intensity battery operated lamps (para. 4.37) to delineate temporary edge of carriageways or footways. The lanterns should comply with the requirements of BS :1990 and should be the flashing type. High intensity battery operated beacons (para. 4.38) to draw drivers attention to hazards, e.g., at approach tapers or in conjunction with advance warning signs. The lanterns should comply with the requirements of BS :1985 and should be the flashing type. Revolving lanterns to draw drivers attention in works on expressway by placing at entry/exit points of lane closure (Appendix C, para. C-1.4) and mounting on vehicles (Appendix E, para. E-1(d)(ii)). The lanterns should comply with the requirements of BS : 警告燈可以發出間歇或繞轉的燈光 閃動警告燈每分鐘應閃動 90 至 150 次 以下列出警告燈的類型, 並說明應在何處使用 : 低亮度電池警告燈 ( 第 4.37 段 ) 標示臨時車路或行人路的邊緣 燈具應符合英國標準 :1990 的規定, 及應為閃動類型 高亮度電池閃動標燈 ( 第 4.38 段 ) 提醒駕駛人士有危險, 例如在楔形引入路段或與預先警告標誌一起使用 燈具應符合英國標準 :1985 的規定, 及應為閃動類型 繞轉警告燈 在進行快速公路工程時, 放置在封閉行車綫的出入口處 ( 附錄 C 第 C-1.4 段 ) 和裝設在車上 ( 附錄 E 第 E-1(d)(ii) 段 ), 用作提醒駕駛人士 燈具應符合英國標準 :1985 的規定 16

21 4.33 Lanterns should be placed at regular intervals along the line of the obstructions or road works. Individual lanterns should normally be placed midway between successive traffic cones (and therefore follow the same 3 m, 9 m and 18 m spacing) when placed approximately parallel to the line of traffic. The following maximum lantern spacings should be followed. Tapers and edges of temporary diversion routes 8 m normal approach tapers. 4 m on both sides of temporary traffic lane diversions not along the edges of the existing traffic lanes; edges of temporary pedestrian ways adjoining and encroaching onto a carriageway; or end tapers. 1 m 45 approach tapers where traffic control is used. Along the edges of existing traffic lanes 3 m for approach speed up to but not more than 70 km/h. 9 m for approach speed more than 70 km/h but not more than 85 km/h, or at tight bends and near slip roads on roads with approach speed over 85 km/h. 18 m for approach speed over 85 km/h or expressways, except at tight bends or near slip roads Lanterns should face oncoming vehicles and should be mounted on stands or cones, with the centre of lens not exceeding 1.2 m above the road surface, except that on roads with approach speed over 70 km/h, mounting on cones is the only acceptable method. When placed in front of a sign, lanterns should not obscure the face of the sign When provided on expressways or roads with approach speed over 85 km/h, lanterns should be mounted on cones so that the centre of the lens is about 4.33 警告燈應沿著障礙物或道路工程路線相隔固定距離放置 一般而言, 當大約與行車綫平行放置時, 每個警告燈應放置在前後兩個交通圓筒的正中間 ( 因此亦依照 3 米 9 米及 18 米間距 ) 下文是應遵守的警告燈最大間距 楔形路段及臨時改道路線邊緣 8 米 一般楔形引入路段 4 米 並非沿著現有行車綫邊緣的臨時改道行車綫兩旁 ; 毗鄰並佔用車路的臨時行人路邊緣 ; 或楔形引出路段 1 米 在成 45 度角的楔形引入路段, 而該路段亦有交通管制措施 沿著現有行車綫的邊緣 3 米 來車速度最高不超過每小時 70 公里的道路 9 米 在來車速度介乎每小時 70 及 80 公里之間的路上, 或在來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的道路的急彎及近連接路之處 18 米 在來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的道路或快速公路, 但在急彎或近連接路的道路除外 4.34 警告燈應面向來車和安裝在支架或圓筒上, 而其鏡片的中心與路面距離不應超過 1.2 米, 但在來車速度超過每小時 70 公里的道路上, 則只可將警告燈裝置在圓筒上 如警告燈放置在標誌的前面, 則警告燈不應遮擋著標誌面 4.35 在快速公路或在來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的道路上, 警告燈應放置在圓筒上, 燈具鏡片的中心點應距離路面約 1.2 米, 使道路使用 17

On temporary edges of a footway delineated by pedestrian barriers, a lantern should be placed near each corner of the delineated area, and additional lanterns should be placed along the edges exceeding 4 m in length so that the spacing between lanterns is not more than 4 m 低亮度電池警告燈可連同交通圓筒或圓柱使用, 以標示臨時車路邊緣 ( 例如圖 5.0 所示 ) 在以行人防欄劃定的行人路臨時邊緣, 應在劃定地方的每一角落附近放置一盞警告燈, 亦應在超過 4 米長的邊緣處放置額外的警告燈, 令燈與燈之間的距離不多於 4 米 4.38 High intensity battery operated beacons are used to draw attention to the hazard existing at a particular site and to warn drivers to take special care (see Fig. 5.0 as an example). They should not be used as a means of delineating the works High intensity battery operated beacons of the unidirectional type should be used to supplement signs indicating the beginning of a temporary diversion on expressways or roads other than expressways with approach speed over 85 km/h. On roads with approach speed over 85 km/h, two such beacons should be mounted on top of each barricade sign (para. 4.55) with the light source facing oncoming traffic. The beacons should be kept operating at all time when the temporary diversion is in place. On expressways, a flashing arrow sign (paras to 4.42) should be used, instead of a pair of beacons, and placed on top of the barricade sign 高亮度電池標燈用以提醒有關人士留意某地點有危險, 並警告駕駛人士需特別小心 ( 例如圖 5.0 所示 ) 它們不應用以標示工程範圍 4.39 單向類型的高亮度電池標燈應用以輔助標誌, 指明在快速公路或來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的道路上的臨時改道開端 在來車速度超過每小時 85 公里的道路上, 每個路障標誌 ( 第 4.55 段 ) 的上面應放置兩個此類標燈, 並面向迎面而來的車輛 臨時改道期間, 標燈應保持亮著 在快速公路上, 應以閃爍箭咀指示燈號 ( 第 4.40 至 4.42 段 ) 代替標燈, 並放置在路障標誌的上面 18

23 Flashing Arrow Sign (FAS) 4.40 A FAS (Appendix E, Fig. E-1) has a matrix of individual lights that can flash on and off in a control manner to show arrangements such as arrow to the right or arrow to the left. It must be used to warn drivers to take special care of the presence of stationary or slowly moving works vehicles on an expressway. It can be mounted on either a vehicle or a trailer. The specification of FAS is given in Appendix E, which also prescribes the details of the vehicles for mounting the FAS. 閃爍箭咀指示燈號 4.40 閃爍箭咀指示燈號 ( 下稱指示燈號 )( 附錄 E 圖 E-1) 由一組獨立的燈以矩陣形式排列, 可按預定的安排閃爍以顯示標誌, 例如 向右箭咀 或 向左箭咀 快速公路上有停下或慢駛工程車輛時, 必須使用此指示燈號警告駕駛人士倍加留意 指示燈號可安裝在車輛或拖車上 指示燈號的規格載於附錄 E 附錄亦列明裝有指示燈號的車輛的詳情 4.41 To provide advance warning, a FAS should be mounted at the highest possible level. The mounting height (measured from the road surface to the bottom of sign) should not be less than 2.4 m on a vehicle or be less than 1.5 m on a trailer. To further improve visibility, the mounting height can be increased to 3.3 m, but in this case the vehicle may have a height in excess of the relevant limit specified in the Road Traffic (Construction and Maintenance of Vehicles) Regulations (Cap. 374A) and needs to be exempted by the Commissioner for Transport as a special purpose vehicle. For works on expressway, the mounting height on vehicles should not be less than 3.3 m (See Appendix D, Fig. D-1) 為提供預先警告, 指示燈號應盡可能裝於最高處 在車輛上, 安裝的位置 ( 由路面至燈號底部 ) 不應低於 2.4 米 ; 在拖架上則不應低於 1.5 米 為進一步改善能見度, 安裝高度可增至 3.3 米, 但在這種情況下, 車輛的高度可能超逾道路交通 ( 車輛構造及保養 ) 規例 ( 第 374A 章 ) 所規定的高度限制, 因而需由運輸署署長批准, 以便把車視作特別用途車輛並豁免其高度限制 若用於快速公路工程, 其安裝高度不應低於 3.3 米 ( 參看附錄 D 圖 D-1) 4.42 For non-government vehicles the display of a FAS could contravene Regulation 92(1)(b) of the Road Traffic (Construction and Maintenance of Vehicles) Regulations (Cap. 374A) which specifies the colour of lights that may be shown to the rear of a vehicle. It is therefore a necessity that any non-government vehicle using a FAS has been exempted by the Commissioner for Transport from the provision of Regulation 92(1)(b). For the use of a FAS mounted on a non-government vehicle in connection with road works, the support of the Director of Highways must be obtained before any application is made to the Commissioner for Transport for the necessary exemption 如屬非政府車輛, 展示這種指示燈號屬違反道路交通 ( 車輛構造及保養 ) 規例 ( 第 374A 章 ) 第 92(1)(b) 條, 該規條規定車輛向後方發出光綫的顏色 因此, 如非政府車輛使用指示燈號, 必須獲運輸署署長豁免其遵守第 92 (1)(b) 條的規定 如安裝在非政府車輛上的指示燈號是用作道路工程, 向運輸署署長申請所需的豁免前, 須得到路政署署長認同 19

24 Traffic Management Devices for Road Works 道路工程使用的交通管理設備 Road Markings 4.43 Road markings of an approved type may be used at road works where appropriate to delineate the carriageway edge or to divide the carriageway into traffic lanes. Where, during the course of road works, the road remains in use and dangers are likely to occur through absence of road markings, temporary markings should be laid down. Suitable self adhesive materials for such temporary marking should be used. They must be removed as soon as their purpose has been served It is most important that existing road markings and road studs must be removed where they give misleading information to drivers. Existing markings which will become redundant by reason of the works should be removed and not covered with overlay. Where the works require that existing markings are to be covered temporarily, they should be masked with proprietary black tape and not be painted black. When existing road markings are removed by grinding or masked by black tape, the grinding operation or the mask should be applied over a rectangular area covering the marking but not just the area of the marking. 道路標記 4.43 在適當情況下, 可在道路工程使用認可的路面標記以標明車路邊緣或在車路上劃分行車綫 如在工程期間仍開放道路, 而缺乏道路標記會產生危險時, 則應設置臨時標記 這種臨時標記應使用合適的自動黏貼材料 當不需使用臨時標記時, 須盡快清除 4.44 如現有道路標記和路釘誤導駕駛人士, 必須清除 如由於工程的影響令現有標記冗贅, 則應清除該等標記而並非以覆蓋物遮蓋 如因工程需要而將現有標記暫時遮蓋, 應以專門的黑膠條遮蓋, 而不應髹上黑漆 如要磨去或用黑膠條遮蓋現有標記, 則磨蝕工序或遮蓋的範圍應是一個足以覆蓋標記的長方形, 而非單單覆蓋標記本身 4.45 The edge of the carriageway may be indicated by a 100 mm wide continuous reflectorised white line approximately 200 mm from the actual edge of the carriageway. A 150 mm wide white reflectorised warning line comprising 4 m marks and 2 m gaps may be used as a temporary line to separate opposing streams of traffic, except when roads having speed limits of 70 km/h or greater, line comprising 6 m marks and 3 m gaps should be used. Double white lines may only be used when authorised by the Commissioner for Transport or the Director s Representative To show where a driver should stop when control by portable traffic signals is operated, a When Red Light Shows Wait Here sign (para. 4.60) or Road Marking RM 1011 (a 200 mm transverse white reflectorised Stop 4.45 車路的邊緣可用一條 100 毫米闊的連續反光白綫顯示, 該白綫要髹在距離實際車路邊緣大約 200 毫米的地方 一條 150 毫米闊的白色反光警告綫, 由 4 米長的標記和 2 米長的缺口相間組成, 可作為臨時綫以分隔相反方向的車輛, 但如道路的時速限制為每小時 70 公里或以上, 則應採用有 6 米長標記和 3 米長缺口的警告綫 雙白綫只在運輸署署長或路政署署長代表授權下方可使用 4.46 在使用活動交通燈管制交通時, 應設 紅燈亮時在此等候 標誌 ( 第 4.60 段 ) 或道路標記 RM1011( 一條 200 毫米闊白色反光 停車 橫綫 ), 以指示駕駛人士應在何處停車 ( 圖 5.5 及 5.6) 20

25 line) should be provided (Fig. 5.5 and 5.6). High Visibility Clothing 4.47 For their own safety, it is important that persons working on or near carriageways are made visible to drivers. Working in vulnerable environment, they should wear highly visible clothing, incorporating retroreflective stripes or patches. Under the Road Traffic (Expressway) Regulations (Cap. 374Q), any person carrying out expressway works must, when on foot on any part of an expressway, wear a reflective jacket of a type approved by the Director s Representative. Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) 4.48 A TMA is designed to absorb the energy of a trailing vehicle colliding onto the vehicle fleet so as to reduce the severity of damage and injury. The equipment is mounted at the rear end of a shadow vehicle escorting other works vehicles when performing mobile operation activities. It should be used for mobile operations on expressways and consideration should be given to also using the equipment for mobile operations on high speed roads other than expressways. 高能見度衣服 4.47 所有在車路或其附近工作的人員, 為本身的安全起見, 應讓駕駛人士容易看見 鑑於他們是在極易發生意外的環境下工作, 所以應穿著能見度高, 並有反光條紋或斑紋的衣服 根據道路交通 ( 快速公路 ) 條例 ( 第 374Q 章 ), 任何快速公路工程人員在快速公路任何部分步行時, 均需穿著屬署長代表認可類型的反光外衣 車載式緩撞裝置 4.48 車載式緩撞裝置是因應遇到尾隨車輛撞擊時, 為吸取撞擊能量以減輕損毀及傷害的程度而設 這裝置是安裝在跟隨工程車隊尾端行駛的護航車輛的尾部 緩撞裝置應用於在快速公路上的流動作業, 而在其他高速道路上進行流動作業, 也應考慮使用 4.49 緩撞裝置的設計需考慮道路情況, 例如來車速度以及可抵受車輛撞擊的衝力, 以符合適當標準 緩撞裝置必須是署長代表認可的類型 安裝緩撞裝置的車輛必須符合裝置製造商的建議要求 4.49 The TMA must be designed to appropriate standard by taking into account the road conditions such as the approach speed and be capable of absorbing the energy of a colliding vehicle. The type of TMA used must be approved by the Director s Representative. The vehicle for mounting a TMA must meet the requirements recommended by the manufacturer of the TMA.
