BUZZ readers should be aware that some traffic fines increase tomorrow. A spokesman for the Transport and Housing Bureau today reminded members of the public that the fixed penalties for five congestion-related traffic contraventions under the Fixed Penalty (Criminal Proceedings) Ordinance will be revised with effect from 1 June.
The relevant traffic contraventions and the revised penalty charges are as follows:
The relevant traffic contraventions and the revised penalty charges are as follows:
| Item | Traffic Contravention | Fixed Penalty Charge |
| 1 | Unlawfully entering box junction | Raised from $320 to $400 |
| 2 | U-turn causing obstruction | |
| 3 | Unauthorised stopping at bus stop/public light bus stand/taxi stand/public light bus stopping place | |
| 4 | Stopping public bus, public light bus or taxi longer than necessary when picking up/setting down passengers | |
| 5 | Picking up/setting down passengers in restricted zone | Raised from $450 to $560 |
I doubt the enforcers of the law know what a box junction is any more. Motorist certainly don’t.
