Prince Edward Road West
Prince Edward Road West is a road between Tai Kok Tsui, Mong Kok, Kowloon Tong and Kowloon City. This road was originally named Edward Avenue (宜華徑) before 1924. It was later renamed Prince Edward Road (英皇子道) in 1924, and in 1958 the Chinese name was changed from what was literally "British Royal Prince Road" to a new name (太子道) that is literally "Crown Prince Road" . In 1979 it became the Prince Edward Road West.
Prince Edward Road West starts from Kowloon City where it succeeds Prince Edward Road East. It runs across Kowloon City and Prince Edward, and ends at Tai Kok Tsui at an intersection with Tong Mi Road and West Kowloon Corridor.
It is worth noting that the section of Prince Edward Road West from Olympic Park to Nathan Road runs unidirectionally from east to west. Boundary Street serves its complement by providing a nearby route which runs from west to east.
