How it's used
Locals almost exclusively use this abbreviation instead of the full name when discussing traffic or travel routes. It is frequently paired with verbs related to driving or congestion, as it is a major artery connecting the eastern parts of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Using the full name sounds overly formal or like reading a news report.
