The Hengqin checkpoint under the Zhuhai Border Inspection General Station
reported year-to-date through 16:00 on Nov. 12 vehicle crossings exceeded 4.00
million, up 36.2% YoY. This is the first calendar year since the port opened to
breach 4 million crossings, placing Hengqin third nationwide by vehicle traffic.
Macau-licensed single-plate vehicles accounted for about 2.67 million crossings,
or 66.7% of the total. Expansion of Hengqin residents commuting to work in Macau
and more frequent trips for family, medical and shopping purposes are cited as
the main drivers of the traffic increase.
