Road Users' Code (Chinese: 道路使用者守則; Jyutping: dou6 lou6 si2 jung6 ze2 sau2 zak1) is a road users' guide published by the Transport DepartmentofHong Kong.
There is not a single law governing the rules of the road like other jurisdictions. Licensing and road maintenance are under the purview of the Transport Department and the Highways Department respectively.
There are several motoring laws in Hong Kong:
The Road Users' Code was preceded by a publication called the Highway Code, which was targeted almost exclusively toward motorists. In 1984, the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill was announced. Among the provisions of the bill was to rename the Highway Code as the Road Users' Code in order to reflect that the updated publication was to provide guidance to all road users.[1]
Secretary for transport Michael Leung formally announced the new booklet in April 1987.[2] It was first published in June 1987.[3] Updated editions were published in May 2000 and June 2020.[4][5]
