At midnight on the 15th, as a private car with a Guangdong C license plate drove into the exit lane, the highly anticipated policy of "Guangdong cars heading south" was officially implemented, further promoting connectivity in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. On that day, the first Guangdong license plate vehicle that met the exit criteria for "Guangdong vehicles heading south" entered the "one-stop" vehicle inspection channel at the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge. After vehicle inspection, facial recognition, fingerprint matching, etc., the customs clearance procedures were completed in less than one minute. Car owner Zhou Le excitedly said, "It's an honor to be the first owner of 'Guangdong Car Southbound'. This time, taking my friend to Hong Kong airport for a flight was very convenient from customs clearance to inspection. Now I feel that the integration of the Greater Bay Area is becoming closer and closer." According to the 'Guangdong Car Southbound' policy, approved Guangdong private car owners can drive through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge and enter the automated parking lot of the Hong Kong Port from midnight on November 15th. He Caigen, Director of the Border Inspection Department of Zhuhai Border Inspection Station, introduced that in order to further facilitate the clearance of vehicles from mainland China, the station actively studies and optimizes the filing and inspection processes, promotes the automatic completion of vehicle and driver filing procedures online, and assists in the completion of the "one-stop" system upgrade and renovation project of the Zhuhai Bridge Highway Port. After registration and appointment, mainland drivers with relevant electronic entry and exit documents and optical license plates can directly pass through the "one-stop" channel at the port for self-service inspection and clearance. Wang Peiyang, Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Customs under Gongbei Customs, said, "We have set up five dedicated inspection and release channels in each direction of entry and exit. After vehicles enter the channels, they will automatically verify and compare their registration information, prompt for clearance and release information, and achieve 'one stop for vehicles and one release for the system'. The implementation of the 'Guangdong vehicles heading south' policy will further promote connectivity in the Greater Bay Area. ”He Caigen said that in the 7 years since the opening of the bridge, over 93.4 million passengers and 19.5 million vehicles have traveled between the three places through the Zhuhai highway port via the bridge, with an average annual growth rate of over 16% and 45% respectively. According to the relevant plans and arrangements of the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong, the policy of "Guangdong cars heading south" entering the urban area of Hong Kong will officially land on December 23.
