How it's used
Locals often shorten this to just 德輔道 when the context of being in Central is already clear. It is a major thoroughfare that runs through the heart of the business district, so it is frequently used as a reference point for directions or meeting spots. Note that the road is split into 德輔道中 and 德輔道西, which are distinct areas separated by the Sheung Wan district.
Examples
I am waiting for the bus on Des Voeux Road Central.
