HONG KONG -- Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-boundary private cars issued with relevant permits will be allowed to use the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) to travel between Hong Kong Port and Zhuhai Port on a trail basis, said the Transport Department of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) on Tuesday.

To ensure smooth traffic at Hong Kong Port of HZMB and in the vicinity of Hong Kong International Airport and surrounding area, the Transport Department implemented temporary special traffic arrangements during the initial commissioning of the HZMB, only allowing Guangdong-Hong Kong private cars under respective quotas and permits to drive across the HZMB to Zhuhai.

Considering the smooth traffic flow in recent days, the department would, in accordance with the arrangement agreed by the Guangdong and Hong Kong SAR governments, allow dual-plate private cars under the quotas of other crossings to use the HZMB. The trial would be implemented for two years.
