Road Safety

Road Safety is one of the Commissioners' Operational Priorities in 2024. Through Engineering, Engagement, and Enforcement, we aim at enhancing the level of road safety in Hong Kong.

Commissioner's Operational Priorities 2024 - Road Safety

Reduce fatal and serious accidents, particularly those involving public transport, cycling and goods vehicles, through a multi-agency approach.
Deter drink driving, drug driving, speeding and illegal road racing.
Promote safe cycling, and pedestrian safety with particular emphasis on elderly.
Ensure smooth traffic flow through application of the Selected Traffic Enforcement Priorities (STEP) and the use of technology.

In 2023, there were 17 189 traffic accidents involving casualties, with 1 000 cases involving serious injuries and 96 involving fatalities. The numbers of accidents involving casualties increased by 14 percent and the number of accidents involving serious injuries and fatalities reduced by 3 percent as compared with 2022. We will continue to work in partnership with other government departments, transport associations, road safety stakeholders, educational bodies and community organisations to make Hong Kong a safer place for road users.
