History[]
Tai Po Road - Tai Po Kau is one of the principal arterial roads in Tai Po District, historically serving as the primary route connecting Tai Po District and North District to the urban. In 1968, Tai Po Road was subdivided into several sections, with the stretch between 41- and 44-milestones[Remark 1] designated as the "Tai Po Kau" section.[1]
Following the opening of Tolo Highway in 1985, it entirely superseded Tai Po Road's role. Presently, the Tai Po Kau section primarily serves residents of nearby villages and private housing estates.

Remarks[]
- ↑ At that time, milestones were counted from the southern end of Nathan Road, through Nathan Road, Castle Peak Road and Tai Po Road, totalling 52½ miles in clockwise direction. However, Nathan Road was later excluded from the calculation, so the 3-milestone at Castle Peak Road was generally used as the starting point.
