Note- The Transport Department (TD) anticipates that the traffic at Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port and Zhuhai Port as well as connecting roads will be relatively busy during long weekends and festive periods. TD hereby appeals cross-boundary private car owners who intended to use the HZMB for returning to Hong Kong during long weekends and festive periods to plan their journeys ahead and to travel at less busy hours.
- Cross-boundary private car owners are advised to pay attention to special traffic and transport arrangements implemented by Mainland and Hong Kong authorities depending on the actual traffic conditions and the latest traffic announcement issued by relevant authorities, be patient when driving in the vicinities and follow on-site instructions.
- Private car owners may access the WeChat official accounts “hzmbzhport” or “zhuhaifabu”, for the real-time vehicle clearance situations of HZMB Zhuhai Port (traffic-info.gzazhka.com:5015/#/) (only Simplified Chinese version is available).
- Zhuhai has introduced two enhancement measures: (i) completing phase 1 of enhancement measures on improving private car clearance efficiency at Zhuhai Port, including releasing the exit lanes reserved for Goods Vehicles to private cars during busy hours, and shortening the clearance time required with the use of technology; and (ii) opening HZMB Zhuhai Port Service Area (located at the north side of Zhuhai Port), which includes a commercial recreation area and a parking lot with around 2,500 parking space (with 238 electric chargers), allowing travelers to relax and rest while waiting for clearance during busy hours.
To ensure the “Northbound Travel for Hong Kong vehicles” (the Scheme) to be implemented in an orderly manner, the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong agreed to introduce a limit on the number of travelling vehicles per day. Travellers issued with the Mainland electronic vehicle licence and Closed Road Permit (CRP) under the Scheme and wish to travel to Guangdong Province via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port shall make reservation with the “Specified Dates Booking System” before they can travel according to the reserved time slots.
From September 1, 2025 onwards, the TD will enhance the booking arrangement to provide convenience to members of the public in travelling under the Scheme more flexibly as follows:
| No booking required | Booking is required |
|---|---|
| Tuesdays and Wednesdays, except specified dates | Mondays and Thursdays to Sundays; and specified dates |
Specified dates include: Hong Kong or Mainland public holidays and the day before, toll-free days of the HZMB and other dates specified by the authority.
The Scheme's eligibility, application procedures and balloting remain unchanged. Dates in the following month when bookings are not required will be announced on the first calendar day of each month via the Specified Dates Booking System for traveller’s reference. Existing arrangements of accepting bookings for specified dates in the following month from the 15th calendar day of each month will also remain unchanged. The reservation will continue to be on a first-come, first-served basis subject to availability.
Dates with no booking required for travel from September 2025 to March 2026 are provided in the calendars below for reference only. The TD will suitably adjust the booking system and also update the website as and when official information from the Mainland is available without giving further individual notice. Travellers are advised to check the latest arrangements at the “Specified Dates Booking System” before making reservation and travel.
