Many roads on the Hong Kong Island conform to the contours of the hill landscape. Some of the roads on the north side of Hong Kong Island and southern Kowloon have a grid-like pattern. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The roads are generally designed to British standards. Expressways generally conform to British motorway standards.
Speed limits on all roads are 50 km/h (31 mph), unless indicated otherwise by road signs. Usually, higher speed limits such as 70 and 80 km/h (43 and 50 mph) have been raised to facilitate traffic flow along main roads and trunk roads. On most expressways, speed limits have been raised to 80 km/h and 100 km/h (62 mph) due to the smooth geometry and 110 km/h (68 mph) for North Lantau Highway, while some expressways such as Island Eastern Corridor and Tuen Mun Road have been restricted to 70 km/h because of its long existence and/or geometrical constraints. Typically, the highest speed limit in all tunnels[ clarification needed ] and suspension bridges is 80 km/h, while for other roads such as toll plaza areas and slip roads that do not lead to other expressways the speed limits are recommended to be reduced to the default 50 km/h speed limit.
