Car queue 1920s?

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1920

I'm baffled as to the reason why this photo is in my family's collection of Hong Kong photos. It's a copy of a framed photo, so may already be in circulation. Two of the visible number plates are 461 and 773, which should give an indication of date. Most of the passengers and the chauffeurs have got out and there are two women standing in the road by their cars. Up ahead a uniformed man is holding a dog on a lead. There seems to be a hold up, otherwise the cyclist would be going forward. Are the white-hatted men policemen? Grateful for identification of the place.
