Ming Pao Society Review
The "Hong Kong Car go north" was officially implemented in July. Even if the local private owners did not have the "two places", they could enter Guangdong via the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge.The integration and development of the Greater Bay Area, the more convenient and better the movement of personnel.Including covering more land ports, as for "north car goes south", it is necessary to take a long way to discuss and take care of the pavement load capacity in Hong Kong.The outside world is concerned about the technical level of the "Hong Kong Car to the North" plans. There are some bottleneck problems. The SAR government needs to try to rationalize it; at the same time, the official must also make more publicity and education to help local owners understand the differences in traffic rules in Guangdong and Hong Kong.Familiar with the mainland driving culture to ensure safety.
Convergence of institutional habits docking
Hong Kong car north is a specific example
If private cars in Hong Kong are going to and from Guangdong and Hong Kong, they must obtain a routine quota (commonly known as the "two places") in Guangdong and Hong Kong cross -border private cars.Even if there is no "two -place cards", you can drive a private car to Guangdong Province.Relevant policy adjustments have been brewed for a while.In November last year, the State Council approved the Guangdong Provincial Government. It can enter and exit the Mainland on the port of Hong Kong and Macao vehicles via the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge's Zhuhai Highway.
Macau and Zhuhai are adjacent, and there are far less cars than Hong Kong.As for the "Hong Kong car north", the Guangdong -Hong Kong government originally intended to announce the details in the first quarter of this year, but the progress was slower than expected, and it was not announced until yesterday.Specifically, a number of arrangements such as must not exceed 30 days each time in the country, the cumulative stays per year must not exceed 180 days, and the card certificate is valid for 1 year, etc., basically the same as "Australian car north".The Hong Kong Government stated that "Hong Kong Car is going north" has accepted the application of car owners from June and officially implemented in July 1. In order to ensure the orderly implementation, the Guangdong -Hong Kong government agreed to accept the upper limit of the number of applications in the early stage.After that, there are 300, which can be gradually improved in the future.In addition, Guangdong and Hong Kong agrees to set up a upper limit on the number of vehicles traveling daily. Those who have issued a "Hong Kong car north" license card can make an online appointment to travel system and make an appointment for departure.
"Hong Kong Car to the North", more people think of self -driving tour in Guangdong Province, which is a new development and new trend for the tourism industry in the Greater Bay Area.The importance is of course more than that.The integration and development of the Greater Bay Area has accelerated in an all -round way, which means that the flow of people, funds, and commodity services will be more frequent.The concept of the one -hour life circle of the Greater Bay Area must be implemented. It is necessary to facilitate the daily commuting and life of personnel. The Hong Kong Shenzhen -Guangzhou high -speed rail operates "subwayization" and "Hong Kong car goes north", which is two important development directions.The central government supports the "Hong Kong car north" and "Australian car north", and it also focuses on accelerating the construction of the Greater Bay Area.
The Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge is a "heavy weapon of the country". It has been opened to traffic for more than 4 and a half years. Among them, it has been affected by the epidemic for 3 years, and few vehicles are used.Since the customs clearance this year, many Hong Kong people and passengers have taken advantage of the "big season" to go to the Hong Kong Port to take the Golden Bay to enter the country. During Easter, nearly 70,000 people have been tried on a single day., Entry -exit vehicles have more than 8,300 vehicles, the highest day since the opening of the port. However, the flow of flow of such people is obviously far away from the potential role of the bridge.Only the role can be manifested. The "Hong Kong car north" plan undoubtedly takes an important step for the good use of the bridge.
The integration of people's livelihood in the Greater Bay Area, involving the two -place system, rules, and cultural habits.If you can't take it lightly, you must ensure that the measures must be smooth."Hong Kong car is going north", insurance and car inspection are two concerns.The Hong Kong Government has previously revealed that the "equivalent" policy of cross -border automobile insurance will be implemented. The Hong Kong car insurance policy of the local owner can cover the mainland "strong insurance" guarantee, and there is no need to buy the insurance policies between the two places separately.Officials said that there are now 16 insurance companies in Hong Kong that can provide cross -border car insurance. As the "Hong Kong car go north" is more frequent in the future, I believe that more insurance companies will be willing to participate in the plan.In contrast, the bottleneck of the car test is more worrying.
Since the Clearance of Mainland Hong Kong earlier this year, the demand for "two places" vehicles has increased greatly, but now there are only one car inspection center in Hong Kong that can provide the mainland officially recognized vehicle inspection services. The industry expects at least half a year beforeDigestion in Hong Kong about 30,000 "two places" vehicles.After the "Hong Kong Car goes north", more private car owners need to arrange vehicle inspection, and the bottleneck problem may further deteriorate.The Hong Kong Government should discuss with the mainland officials as early as possible to promote the interoperability of vehicles in the two places, or exempt new vehicle inspection.
The"Hong Kong Car to the North" plan calculates 300 applications on a working day. It is about 70,000 yuan a year. Whether the number is sufficient is to be observed;It would rather be more conservative and understand.In the long run, Hong Kong cars can go north, and the north car should also go south.The problem is that Hong Kong is a landed place. The number of private cars has continued to increase, and road infrastructure is not available. Earlier, members of the SAR officials visited the group of Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Huang Kunming.Follow Hong Kong.Regarding the issue of "north car goes south", the SAR government must handle it carefully.
Synthesizing technical arrangements
Assist Hong Kong people to understand
The integration of the Greater Bay Area. In addition to the system docking, the docking of cultural habits and cognition is equally important. The SAR official should take the initiative to assist Hong Kong people to know more about the mainland.The road design, signs, and driving directions of Hong Kong and the Mainland are different, and there are many differences between driving habits. Even if Hong Kong owners have driving experience in the Mainland, they must pay attention to them everywhere. Those who are not familiar with their lives must be more cautious and avoid accidents.Relevant departments of the SAR government need to do more publicity and education to assist Hong Kong car owners who are interested in going north to understand the mainland traffic rules, insurance compensation systems, and driving culture. This is also a part of the official promotion of the people's livelihood integration in the Greater Bay Area.
