Jordan Road (Chinese: 佐敦道) runs from the West Kowloon Highway in West Kowloon, through Kwun Chung and Ferry Point to Gascoigne Road and is a major east–west road in southern Kowloon. However, it is not a straight road, and drivers confronted with this directional sign must quickly decide which way to go.
Fortunately for the indecisive, Kowloon is one of the most densely populated cities on earth, so speeds on Jordan Road usually range from very slow to stop. And, Chinese drivers being what they are, no-one is surprised if they turn at a place or in a direction contrary to the one indicated by the sign.
Or if they just stop to discuss with others (often going the other way) to discuss which is the correct thing to do. Agent 3 is not saying that Chinese can't drive, only that Chinese can't drive well. Hence the old cliché of the Chinese fire drill. Don't even think about driving there.
