For maybe a second my impulse was to add to the honk melee. Then I took a closer look and saw what was actually going on: a lady had dropped her bags, causing their contents to spill to the pavement. The people in the street were passersby who had run to help her pick them up.
First he slammed the brakes. Then he wove theatrically around me into the lane next to us. From there he proceeded to change lanes three more times in the course of one block, dodging cars like they were opponents in a high-speed chase video game.
A metaphor comes to mind each time I drive over a trafficless bay bridge (which happens very rarely but when it does, feels magical). Cruising over the smooth pavement without a car in sight conjures a wintery, white Christmas feeling.
This calming and cleansing sight contrasts starkly with the default state of the freeway: normally a long stretch of cars, constant reminders of overpopulation and limited resources. It feels similar to gliding down a ski slope when the snow is fresh, pristine, newly plowed, and un-scuffed by other skiers.
Even machines like Siri can be recipient to your gratitude. When traffic clogs the freeway, for example, I appreciate how she escorts me onto an alternative route. On one, we drove down bucolic side roads past fields of sunflowers while country music played from my car speakers (and bugs splattered against the windshield). On another, a river gushed a few feet away from us, providing a peaceful backdrop both visually and auditorily.
One time when driving, I came upon a car stopped in the middle of the road. Just as I was about to get annoyed at the hindrance, a little Latino boy eating an apricot stuck his head out the car window. Juice dribbled down his chin while he waited for his dad to fix their car (which was why they were stopped). The innocent sight instantly calmed me. It was almost Hallmark-card level of sweet and centering.

The HERMEQ Anti-Trip Water Filled Separator, also known as the Buddha Barrier, is the first of its kind on the market in the UK. This revolutionary traffic management product takes all of the pros from other water filled barriers currently on the market and blends them into one unique product. These anti-trip road separators will stand up when empty, adding water increases there capacity to 27.2kg. At 800 mm in height, it creates a safer environment for pedestrians over traditional Water Filled Separators, as well as this, the HERMEQ Anti-Trip Water Filled Separator can be fitted with a metal fence panel that creates a barrier over 1.8 m in height.
Use As A Road / Traffic Delineator: On many demolition and construction sites water fill road barriers are used to separate road traffic and vehicles from pedestrianised areas. The anti-trip water filled separator at 800mm high present a better barrier when trying to separate the two. It also addresses a potential health and safety concern by making sure that there is no potential trip hazard on the pedestrianised side of the water filled plastic barriers. These anti-trip water filled barriers are also unique in that, inclusive within the base price, they have hi-visibility reflective strips on both sides of the barrier. As construction work often goes on late into the night this is a key safety feature. It makes sure that the plastic barrier fence line is visible to vehicles on site at all times.
Use As A Pedestrian Barrier: The plastic water fill barrier is extremely useful as a pedestrian barrier, to separate members of the public from potential safety concerns. The main strengths this plastic barrier has over its competitors is its height and its flexibility. At 800mm high, it is the highest plastic water fill barrier in its category, and with prices the same if not lower than other water fill barriers it effectively gives you a height advantage at no extra cost. Add onto this a 1000mm mesh fence extension and standing at 1800mm you have a plastic water fill road barrier that is almost double the height of its competitors. As well as giving you a safety and security advantage, due to its height, the HERMEQ anti-trip water filled road barrier is also the most practical on the market for marking out pedestrianised zones. The plastic water barrier has an incredible 270 degree range of connectivity. This means that the plastic barrier line can be molded to perfectly fit the path that you want pedestrians to follow. You are not restricted in your layout by the limitations of the water filled separators, like you are with many competitors.
Use For Securing Trenches: The anti-trip water filled separator is ideal for lining trenches. It is extremely popular amongst utility companies because of the possibility to use the barriers shape to provide a spoil area. The material dug out of the trench can be place under the one side of the barrier. This provides not only a neat way to expose of material, whilst digging trenches, but the material put into the barrier also re-enforces and strengthens the barrier fence line. This increase the wind resistance of the barriers and present a formidable barrier to guard against civilians falling into the trench.
Use As Protective Manhole & Excavation Works Cover: The barriers are able to connect to one another whilst facing each other. This means that they can provide a good form of hole protection for excavations and maintenance works. Placed around a small hole in a two or a four, and filled with water, these barriers offer the perfect protection against members of the work force or civilians being caught out by ongoing ground works.
Compatibility: The anti-trip barrier is extremely compatible with a range of our traffic management and road equipment. The road barrier used the same clip as our Wonder Wall traffic barrier and our Tuff traffic barrier. This means that if required the anti-trip water fill barrier can be placed in and amongst a more diverse traffic management system. Together these products should allow you to transfer between sectors with different requirements, without having any breaks in your plastic traffic barrier system.
Filling & Emptying: Filing the plastic barrier with water is incredibly easy, the holes into which the mesh fence panels slot into at the top of the plastic road barrier also act as filling stations. Simply fill the water barrier up to the fill line on the base using a hose, which should take seconds. Alternately for a more permanent and heavier base you could also use the filling holes in the plastic barrier to add sand or another form of ballast to the barrier. This would provide a heavier base and therefore a better routed road barrier, to protect against adverse weather conditions compromising the fence line. Emptying the water from the barrier is even easier than filling. Due to its unique shape you simply need to lay the plastic barrier down on its front (flat side). Gravity will then do the rest of the work as the water naturally drains from the barrier. Once the majority of the water, and therefore weight, is out of the barrier simply tip it up right to remove the remaining water.
For a smaller, but sturdy, water filled barrier then take a look at our heavy duty water fill traffic barrier. These road barriers are only 560mm tall, but once filled with water they weight a whopping 55kg. Although they lack a lot of the 800mm water separators unique & revolutionary features, for everyday use they present a great alternative for road delineation and separation. They are commonly used for as a more semi-permanent solution due to their weight.
For a chapter 8 compliant road barrier then look no further than our plastic road barrier. We supply these at an incredibly discounted price and they are one of our most popular products due to their simple, yet effective design.
The Immigration Department (ImmD) estimates that around 5.54 million passengers (including Hong Kong residents and visitors) will pass through Hong Kong's sea, land and air control points during the upcoming Labour Day and Buddha's Birthday festive period (from April 28 to May 3). Among them, about 75 per cent, or around 4.17 million passengers, will pass through land boundary control points. The number of outbound passengers using land boundary control points will reach its peak on April 29 (Saturday) with around 435 000 passengers departing Hong Kong, while the number of inbound passengers will be at its highest on May 1 (Monday) with over 407 000 passengers arriving in Hong Kong.
Lo Wu will be the busiest control point, and it is estimated that there will be around 1.58 million passengers, with a daily average of about 263 000 passengers, travelling via this control point during the festive period. The passenger traffic at the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Shenzhen Bay and Lok Ma Chau control points will also be heavy, with daily average forecasts of about 189 000, 127 000 and 80 000 passengers respectively.
To cope with the anticipated heavy traffic during the festive period, the ImmD has redeployed additional staff to reinforce various control points and has minimised leave for front-line officers for flexible deployment and operation of extra clearance counters and kiosks. Additional security guards will also be deployed to provide crowd management support.
