Hong Kong uses left-hand traffic. You keep to the left, and faster traffic overtakes on the right side.

Where overtaking is legal and safe in Hong Kong, you should normally pass a vehicle on its:

  • a.Right side✓
  • b.Left side
  • c.Either side
  • d.Kerb side

Because Hong Kong drives on the left, you overtake on the right, only when you can see it is clear and safe to do so. Never overtake near bends, crossings, or junctions.

As you approach a roundabout in Hong Kong, you must give way to traffic:

  • a.Waiting behind you
  • b.Already on the roundabout, coming from your right✓
  • c.Approaching from your left
  • d.Leaving the roundabout

In left-hand traffic a roundabout flows clockwise, so circulating vehicles reach you from the right. Give way to any vehicle already on the roundabout before entering.

  • a.Another car is already in it
  • b.The light is green, regardless of traffic
  • c.You are turning left
  • d.Your exit is clear so you will not stop in the box✓

A yellow box junction must not be entered unless your exit road is clear, so you do not block cross traffic. The exception is when turning and only oncoming traffic stops you.
