Hong Kong Private Road Signs - Impounding & Towing Zones (No Parking)

This simple asset is a semi-replica of a private road sign ¹ (私人路標誌) that can be found in Fairview Park, Yuen Long[goo.gl] (元朗錦綉花園). The sign is there to convey a warning message ² to the drivers that no parking is allowed for all roads in the estate, and that these roads are all wheels clamp areas (鎖車地帶) and tow away zones (拖車地帶).

Why is there no screenshots? Well, the thumbnail already explains everything... Isn't it?


Private roads are roads built, owned and maintained by a private body, commonly seen within private housing estates. A private road sign is a road sign for private roads. Standard signs are those following the designs and specifications from Road Traffic (Parking on Private Roads) Regulations[www.elegislation.gov.hk]. Non-standard signs are custom signs erected and placed by the property holders. They are used for conveying a more specific message, usually the details of parking restrictions within an area. What this asset presents is a non-standard private road sign that is exclusive for use in Fairview Park.


"Please do not park on estate roads or streets."
( 邨內所有街道嚴禁車輛停泊。 )
"All are impounding and towing zones."
( 邨內所有街道均為鎖車及拖車地帶。 )

The message is pretty straight forward. What it means is that you're not allowed to park your cars on roads or streets within the estate area. Failure to comply will risk your cars being clamped or towed away.

Doesn't like the message? You can always edit it with Procedural Objects!


A total disaster! Because no one really cares! People still park their cars everywhere they want... What a joke!

Well, that's understandable since the so-called illegal parkings are most likely done by the residents there.

But let's not be too harsh since it's now a fine thing to do. That's right! That's once again the power of the mass! So for now, as long as you don't park your cars in front of someone else's doors, you're good to go.

Not if you're a visitor. Cars will still be clamped if you're one. So the whole thing works quite similar to the "Except with Permit" system, but not exactly the same. Especially when there's an annual clamping operation, no one really cares whether you are a resident or a visitor. You just have to pay the bill to have your cars unlocked.

And usually after the big show, the most typical scene appears:
"Why did you clamp my car? Why not clamp my neighbour's car? He did the same!"

HaHa very Hong Kong indeed! LOL!


That's a good question! What I can say is that I made this by heart. That explains all!

Procedural Objects
