Highways Department is a government agency under theTransport and Logistics Bureau of theGovernment of Hong Kong. It is responsible for developing Hong Kong's road and railway network as well as road maintenance.

History

[edit]

The department was previously an office within the former Civil Engineering Department and became an independent department on 1 June 1986 due to the increasingly complex road network in Hong Kong.[3]

In 2024, it launched street signs with a new font to "infuse a strong cultural atmosphere into the community's landscape" to support the government's Task Force on District Governance, with the new font drawing criticism.[4]
