The Hung HornBay Development Study made projections of passenger trips by all modes, includingcar and bus. These were used in conjunction with the results of the Traffic andTransport Survey Division analyses to project the number of cars and buses for eachyear. High and low projections were prepared at 50% above and 50% below themedian projection..5.7 There are three road border crossing points: Lok Ma Chau, Man Karri To, and ShaTau Kok. A distribution of traffic between these three locations was made taking intoaccount their assumed capacities, the projected origins and destinations of trips, androad access. The numbers of vehicles by type and location for the median projectionis shown in Table 4.13.Table 4.13 PROJECTED DAILY BORDER CROSSINGS BY LOCATION(median projection, 2-way traffic)199119962001Lok Ma ChauGoods VehiclesOther VehiclesTotal7200200740018300400187003350060034100Man Kam ToGoods VehiclesOther VehiclesTotal57006006300650070072001200090012900Sha Tau KokGoods VehiclesOther VehiclesTotal1 5001001 6001 3001001 4002400200260067
