Conduit Road - Numbering

Numbering

Numbers are odd on the mountainside of the road and even on the side closer to waterfront; which makes sense since the first properties were built along the mountainside (southern side) of the road.

The odd numbers starts at the busier eastern end of the road from the government estate Chater Hall Flats (No.1 Conduit Road)and ends at Skyline Mansion (No. 51 Conduit Road) near the western end of the road; while even numbers starts right across No.1, Yukon Court (No.2 Conduit Road) is its name, ran all the way through Kiu Sen Court (No.70 Conduit Road). Although there is currently a construction site numbered 55 on the road which will technically forever be the last property on the road in terms of location(as the site is located on the last stretch of land on Conduit Road).

Thus, the main reason for the particular direction of property-numbering was chiefly attributed by the fact that the first properties to have graced Conduit Road were all concentrated at the eastern end; which is understandable as that end is closer to the Central District than the western end giving it much higher accessibility and convenience.
