Road Users' Code

Road Users' Code is a road user guide in Hong Kong. It is published by the Transport Department.

There is not a single law governing the rules of the road like other jurisdictions. Licensing and road maintenance are under the purview of the Transport Department and the Highways Department respectively. The first edition was published in June 1987, and has been updated from time to time. The latest edition was published in June 2020.

There are several motoring laws in Hong Kong:

• Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Ordinance - governs third party insurance for drivers
• Road Traffic (Driving-Offence Points) Ordinance - sets up a point system for breach of rules of the road
• Road Traffic Ordinance - regulates road traffic and use of vehicles
