鴨脷洲橋道行人過路安全 Safety at Ap Lei Chau Bridge Road

早前我曾在區議會提出關注鴨脷洲橋道行人過路安全的議題，並曾提出封掉過路設施，使途人繞經橋底，以達至人車分隔的效果並減少意外機會（過去兩年均曾發生一次意外，今年至今已有兩次）。

今天我下午約了運輸署、康文署和民政處代表實視視察。運輸署指現有設施已有足安全，並已上加上很多指示牌等(但拒絕加漁眼鏡)，這些對我而言說服力不大，但他和民政處代表指出了另一項我覺得合理的意見是：晚上時如果市民（尤其是女性）不能使用現時設施而必須繞經僻靜和陰暗的橋底時，容易引生搶劫等治安問題。

因我們主要擔心附近的香港仔工業中學的學生過馬路時不小心，容易導致意外，我會向校方和道路安全委員會跟進此事。

It maybe a dangerous for people crossing Ap Lei Chau Bridge Road (opposite to Ocean Court), because car and bus are driving very fast on Aberdeen Praya Road and turn left to go to Ap Lei Chau Bridge Road, especially the cover walkway in front of Ocean Court blocked the vision of pedestrian.   The representatives of the Transport Dept, the LCSD, the HAD and I had a joint site visit to follow up my suggestion to block the crossing facility in order to avoid the potential accidents. The TD kept claiming the crossing is safe and there are enough road sights. One of his point is reasonable I think: it's remote and dark under the bridge, it may cause danger while pedestrian walks by(esp. for women).     I'll follow up this issue with the school near by and the Road Safety Committee to do more education work to improve the situation.
