The Transport Department launched the Driving on Lantau Island scheme in 2016, which received a warm response. In 2021, the authorities proposed doubling the quota for private cars on self-driving tours in Lantau Island to 50 per day. The plan was implemented on 1 July 2022. The Islands District Council and local residents have expressed concerns about the increase, fearing that it will exacerbate the local traffic load before traffic facilities are improved.

The road network in southern Lantau was built in the late 1950s. The Keung Shan Road leading to Tai O is a rural road. Some southern Lantau residents expressed that if the current traffic flow is taken into account, the road network is considered inadequate. In addition, Mui Wo and Tai O also face a severe shortage of parking spaces, and illegal parking can be seen everywhere. They hope that the government can solve the various transportation problems in the area while opening up self-driving tours.

The second phase of the Driving on Lantau Island scheme will be implemented on July 1st, 2022. Some local merchants welcome the limited quota increase to stimulate the local economy, while some tourists hope that the authorities can extend the self-driving tour hours to bring more convenience. How can the authorities balance the interests of residents and self-driving tourists?
