portland street used to be vehicle free.

explains street vendor umbrellas also would not need traffic markings on a street with no traffic, I still BELIEVE pics are same place but at different times and based on when the street reopened to traffic it looks like the umbrella picture could be from earlier than 2016

Hong Kong pedestrian zone to be scrapped after complaints about street performers

The vehicle-free hours of the street were reduced three times between 2010 and 2013. Protests in 2015 against street performers who were too loud led to clashes between localists and pro-Beijing groups.

The following year, a crackdown by the government on unlicensed street hawkers on nearby Portland Street sparked the Mong Kok riot.
