People-Friendly Walking Environments
Walking is the foundation of everyday journeys, yet Hong Kong's streets have long been planned to keep traffic moving — leaving crossings hard to use, speeds too high and pedestrian space squeezed. We advocate for reform of street planning and design: safe, convenient crossings, shade and places to pause, and speed and traffic management that together reshape neighbourhood streets around people.

30 km/h is roughly the physical limit of what the human body can absorb in a vehicle impact. That is why we have advocated for 30 km/h to become the default speed limit on Hong Kong's local streets and secondary roads. Following the Transport Department's first trial on Wai Chi Street in Shek Kip Mei in 2020, we have kept pushing for low-speed zones to be delivered at the scale of whole neighbourhoods rather than one street at a time.

Truck blind spots are the deadliest threat to road workers and pedestrians. That is why we have advocated for a comprehensive tightening of vision safety standards for Hong Kong's medium and heavy vehicles. Given how slowly commercial fleets turn over, we keep pushing the authorities to go beyond newly registered vehicles and set a sunset clause for older in-service trucks, requiring direct-vision design and retrofitted active blind-spot warning systems.
Learn more →Hong Kong Traffic Injury Collision Database
A free, interactive map database visualising the locations and data of traffic collisions across Hong Kong. By showing exactly where each collision happened and how often particular stretches of road are involved, the database makes road danger concrete and visible. We hope it educates the public on how serious the toll is, and gives journalists, legislators, academics and government departments accessible, reliable data insights — so every side can examine the problem and design remedies on the basis of evidence.

Cycling has real potential as everyday transport, yet Hong Kong's outdated infrastructure keeps confining it to weekend leisure. We advocate for a cycling-friendly policy that makes cycling part of public transport policy, and for reform of car-first road standards — connected, safe routes and proper parking linking homes, workplaces and interchanges, so cycling becomes an everyday choice people confidently make.
Learn more →Responding to Transport Policy Developments
Our formal recommendations on the government's Transport Strategy Blueprint — calling for human-oriented priorities, safer streets and a genuine shift away from car-oriented planning.
Learn more →Transport Planning for New Development Areas
New development areas, above all the Northern Metropolis, are pivotal to Hong Kong's future. We urge fresh thinking on street design and cycle networks there to make active travel the norm — and have made seven submissions on these plans over the past two years.
Learn more →Against Mandatory Helmet Laws
We oppose mandatory bicycle helmet legislation. Evidence from around the world shows such laws suppress cycling and shift blame onto riders, while doing little to address the real source of danger — motor traffic and unsafe street design.
Learn more →Insight, Writing & Public Voice
We publish regular commentary on street design, public space and transport policy in Cantonese and English, share observations from cities worldwide, and bring the case for people-first streets to Hong Kong media — as transport planners speaking up for change.
