"Five types of vehicles" can go on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The vehicles that can pass through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge include: cross-boundary buses, shuttle buses, cross-boundary taxis, freight vehicles, cross-boundary private cars, etc.
Cross-boundary buses: In the first year of the opening of the bridge, a total of 200 cross-border bus quotas for Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have been arranged, including 150 for Guangdong-Hong Kong (for Guangdong-Hong Kong joint ventures) and 50 for Hong Kong and Macao (34 for Hong Kong quotas and 16 for Macao), all of which have been issued (Note: There are no passenger buses between Zhuhai and Macao ports). Another 200 quotas are allocated to Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-boundary buses that are currently travelling at other boundary control points to transfer to the HZMB. Each quota can operate one round-trip flight per day. Cross-boundary buses are not allowed to pick up new passengers within the HZMB control control area area.
Shuttle buses: BCP shuttle buses are the main means of transportation between the HZMB and the Hong Kong-Macao Ports, providing frequent shuttle services. Busy hours are every 5 minutes, non-peak hours are every 10-15 minutes, and late night hours are every 15-30 minutes. Shuttle buses at the control points are not subject to quota restrictions.
Cross-border taxis: In the first three years of the opening of the bridge, a total of 250 cross-border taxi quotas for Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will be arranged. Among them, there are 150 quotas for Guangdong and Hong Kong, and 100 quotas for Hong Kong and Macao. Each quota can operate one cross-boundary taxi with an unlimited number of round-trip transfers per day.
Freight vehicles: For cross-boundary goods vehicles between Guangdong and Hong Kong, goods vehicles between Guangdong and Hong Kong can now pass through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (but excluding goods vehicles traveling to and from Futian Free Trade Zone). In the early stage of the opening of the bridge, the index of cross-border trucks between Guangdong and Hong Kong will not be increased for the time being; As regards cross-boundary goods vehicles from Hong Kong and Macao, the Hong Kong and Macao SAR governments are still discussing the detailed arrangements for cross-boundary goods vehicles.
Cross-boundary private cars: For private cars in Guangdong and Hong Kong, the quotas for private cars in Hong Kong and the Mainland are about 10,000 and 1,000 respectively issued before the opening of the HZMB. In addition, the Hong Kong and Guangdong governments will also announce the details of the arrangements for allowing the use of Guangdong and Hong Kong cross-boundary private cars currently holding quotas at other ports to try the bridge without formalities.
For cross-boundary private cars in Hong Kong and Macao, the quota for cross-border private cars in Hong Kong and Macao is 300 (valid for three years) and 600 (valid for one year) respectively. In addition, eligible Hong Kong private car owners can drive their Hong Kong private cars to the east car park of the Macao Port Border Inspection Building (3,000 parking spaces for cross-border private cars are pre-set in the East Car Park) through the "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Macao Port Park-and-Ride Scheme", and then transfer to other means of transportation at the Macao Port to go to the city of Macao after completing immigration procedures at the Macao Border Control Building. There is no quota for the "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Macao Port Parking-and-Transfer Scheme".
"Three places and three inspections" 24-hour customs clearance in Zhuhai and Macao implements "cooperative inspection and one-time release"
All three ports implement 24-hour customs clearance. Customs clearance methods include: cooperative self-service channel: three gates, a new self-service customs clearance channel with clear boundaries; Cooperative manual channel: semi-self-service customs clearance channel for electronic control of exit and manual inspection of entry; Traditional manual passage: a manual passage that is seamlessly connected side by side and shoulder to shoulder.

In the event of casualties, the police should be called in time to deal with it; In the event of a traffic accident where "no one is injured but the car can move", you should evacuate the scene in time after taking pictures, and follow up on the accident and make insurance claims in accordance with the guidelines.
