Campaigning at the Keaau bottleneck

[TomK]

I'm having trouble with the statement that Puna wants to to remain a rural district and how that has anything to do with political sign wavers at the bottleneck distracting drivers. Rob, can you expand on that? Why should that happen at the bottleneck rather than elsewhere?

And just to clarify, I moved to Puna long before the bypass existed. It's not a tradition to campaign there. I have no problem with sign waving in general and robguz hit the nail on the head, it's the location, not the tradition.

If and when there is an accident there caused by distracted drivers I'm sure the defense of "it is what it is" is unlikely to get very far.
