King's Road, Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Image:HK King s Road 147.jpgKing's Road (英皇道) is a major east-west street along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, extending from Causeway Bay, where it joins Causeway Road, to Sai Wan Ho, where it joins Shau Kei Wan Road.
Originally part of the Shaukiwan Road, it was renamed in 1935 in honor of the silver jubilee of King George V's reign.
The road is shared between automobile traffic and the Hong Kong Tramways system, and the east bound of the section between eastern Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay is bus lane. Part of the MTR Island Line runs underneath the road as well.
Before the opening of Island Eastern Corridor, the road was plagued with traffic congestion. Various measures like bus lane had been taken to alleviate the stigma.
