賽事前後的臨時交通安排（2 月28日(星期四)至3 月8 日(星期五)及3月11 日(星期一)至18 日(星期一)期間）

由於賽事期間使用部分中環新海濱的道路作為臨時賽道，為保障賽車人員及觀眾安全，以及達致人流管制的要求，因此大會需沿賽道安裝看台、觀眾圍欄及其他臨時設施；並在賽區內建設臨時維修賽道和活動空間等。有關安裝預製的混凝土安全護欄、賽道圍欄的工程將由2019 年2 月28 日(星期四)起分六個階段在晚上進行，封閉部分道路，以確保安裝工作能夠安全地進行；大會已預留部分行車線或替代道路以供使用，以減少對公眾的影響，當賽道旁的預製臨時混凝土安全護欄及賽道圍欄完成後，現時的行車線將減少。大會亦會擺設臨時交通管理措施作分隔以保障行車道上的安全。賽後的拆卸工程亦會分階段進行至2019 年3 月18 日(星期一)早上6時全部完成。

Before the event days, the Organizer and consultant will continue to liaise with the stakeholders and communicate through mass media about the Event updates and information of temporary traffic arrangement. Organizer and consultant have formulated temporary contingency traffic arrangements for Event Days, and will implement appropriate control measures when necessary, to ensure that public processions or assemblies can be held smoothly, and the effect on the public can be minimized.
