Abstract: This data contains average journey time information provided by The Hong Kong Transport Department. The data was originally compiled in XML file format when downloaded via DATA.GOV.HK. The information was then populated to a feature layer that contains the Journey Time Indicator locations. The Hong Kong Transport Department commissioned the Journey Time Indication System in 2003 monitoring the average travelling time near various tunnels in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island on a 24-hour basis. The system comprises a group of journey time indicators signaling congested, slow, and smooth traffic conditions using red, amber and green colors respectively showing estimated journey time in minutes. The main objective is to inform motorists about traffic conditions and allow them to make appropriate route choice based on available information. Please note that the journey time indicator locations displayed on the map are approximate only.

Purpose: Average journey time estimated for major roads in Hong Kong
