King's Road, Hong Kong

King's Road, Hong Kong

.

Originally part of the Shaukiwan Road, it was renamed in 1935 in honor of the silver jubilee of King George V's reign.

The road is shared between automobile traffic and the Hong Kong Tramways system, and the east bound of the section between eastern Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay is bus lane. Part of the MTR Island Line runs underneath the road.

Before the opening of Island Eastern Corridor, the road was plagued with traffic congestion. Various measures like creation of bus lanes were taken to alleviate the problem.
