Online petition: Fix dangerous entrance Queen Mary Hospital's New Block

Online petition: Improve the entrance design at Queen Mary Hospital's New Block

Dangerous design of ingress and egress
Recently discovered plans show that vehicles entering and leaving Queen Mary Hospital’s 30 storey New Block will impact Pok Fu Lam Road at the slip road to Sassoon Road. The New Block starts operations in 2024. 

To enter, vehicles will have to come to a complete dead stop on Pok Fu Lam Road - right where buses, mini buses and private cars exit Pok Fu Lam Road to go to Sassoon Road and the existing entrance to the hospital.

Hospital Authority insists design is safe
Hospital Authority and its consultant insist the design of the ingress/egress is 'considered to be safe'.  

During peak hours, one vehicle exits Pok Fu Lam Road here every 3 seconds. We understand that at least 200 ambulances, trucks, and staff cars will use the new entrance every day. We have repeatedly reminded QMH since 2015 to avoid this dangerous mistake.

Sign the online petition today: Make it safe
Urge Queen Mary Hospital to improve the design by making use of the former bus stop as a diverge lane.

網上聯署 ：改善瑪麗醫院新大樓的車輛入口設計

危險的出入口設計

最新資料顯示瑪麗醫院新大樓（樓高30層）的車輛出入口將會直接影響薄扶林道南行線轉入沙宣道的道路安全及車流量。大樓將於2024年落成。

所有從薄扶林道南行線進入新大樓的車輛需減至非常低速轉90度左彎，而這個彎位正是巴士、小巴及私家車靠左離開薄扶林道前往沙宣道及醫院小路的位置。

醫院管理局堅持設計符合安全要求

醫院管理局及其顧問堅持這個出入口設計「符合安全要求」。

繁忙時間平均每3秒鐘就有1架車輛於這位置離開薄扶林道。按理解，每日大概會有200架次的車輛使用這個新出入口，包括救護車、貨車及職員車輛等。自2015年起，我們多次促請院方注意這個位置的安全問題。

請參與網上聯署：改善設計，提升安全

要求瑪麗醫院改善設計並把已停用的巴士站用作入口支路。
