The section of Stanley New Street between Stanley Village Road and Stanley Market Road will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily on the above dates (except for vehicles of local residents, police, emergency services, and vehicles with permits).
Pedestrian precincts will be implemented on Stanley Main Street and Stanley Market Road on the following dates and hours:

The TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity of Stanley and its approach roads will be busy during the holding of the above event. Members of the public should use public transport services as far as possible, or consider using the free shuttle bus services provided by the event organiser.
Due to the limited number of parking spaces at Stanley Plaza, motorists who have not reserved parking spaces with the event organizer should avoid driving to the vicinity. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience when traffic is congested and follow the instructions of the Police.
