Do you want the entire Hong Kong street directory? Or just roads of encyclopaedic significance? m.e. 07:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming of street articles[edit]

I don't disagree with the pages' right to exist (see naming conventions: streets), but there are several flaws in the links to Hong Kong streets from this page — mainly the failure to specify "Hong Kong" in the article name, which I think should certainly be the case on pages likely to have a namesake elsewhere, e.g. Lancashire Road > Lancashire Road, Hong Kong, or Austin Road > Austin Road, Hong Kong.

In the case of other streets, might it be a good idea to add "Hong Kong" even if no namesake street currently has a Wikipedia article? Unless the Hong Kong street is obviously the most notable in the world, or perhaps if it has a name unlikely to be found elsewhere (like Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road).

I did this for Cox's Road, Hong Kong (someone had previously added information about Cox's Road, Sydney to the top of that page [1] which was confusing, so I moved it from the name "Cox's Road"), Jordan Road, Hong Kong and Lambeth Walk, Hong Kong on this page. — Responsible? 18:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder can there be a Chinese edition of this page (for example, with all the street names listed in Chinese. If I were a secondary school teacher, I think it will be a nice project for a class of students to work on. Of course, one or more HK Wikipedia editors can just start editing and creating the pages. I second the previous editor's comment, "might it be a good idea to add "Hong Kong" even if no namesake street currently has a Wikipedia article?

Road to Nowhere[edit]

Roger Boschman who test cars for The Standard often writes that he uses ""Road to Nowhere," the three-kilometer mini- highway that ends in a mysterious car park.".[2] Anyone have any idea what he's referring to? // Liftarn (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it's Yan Yee Road. 2.96km and ends with a seemingly random car park Xianggangdongren (talk) 11:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could also be Lai Ping Road in Sha Tin, which until a few years ago had nothing on it. Citobun (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. It's only ~3-4km, and there are a couple roads going off of it into villages. I guess it could be, though. The article also mentions he was 'Getting under way to Sai Kung' and also mentions he was in Pak Tam Chung, which is quite close to Yan Yee. There is actually stuff on Yan Yee Road and a couple roads going off of it (Chi Fai Path and Mou Ying Road), going to small villages, and some houses at the end of the road, but I am pretty sure it is Yan Yee.

Private roads[edit]

It would be good to list privately owned/managed roads, with separately or identified as such in the main list

Swire owns some around Tai Koo Shing.
CUHK campus [3]
Maybe O King Road (奧景路), in Tseung Kwan O.

Also some restricted roads, eg. Man King Road, operated by Water Supplies Dept. Onanoff (talk) 10:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lung On Street[edit]

Lung On Street was deleted, but not sure if should be mentioned here? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:58, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The scope of the article is as long as a piece of string. The preamble (lede?) suggests only "notable" streets should appear and yet the page has bloated to be a patchy attempt at listing just about everything (which is, with respect to diligent editors, just plain silly). Lung On, plainly, is of no notability whatsoever. sirlanz 14:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
