Cyclists in Hong Kong have the same rights and responsibilities as all other road users, except for prohibitions from expressways and some other designated locations, such as all tunnel areas, the Tsing Ma and Tsing Sha control areas, many elevated roads and many underpasses.[1] At least one hand must be kept on the handlebars at all times. Cyclists must use a cycle track wherever one is present.[2]

However, apart from the prohibition of motor vehicles, most of these rules are not regularly enforced or followed.
