As someone who was almost killed two times at that intersection through no fault of my own, the problem is: the traffic through the existing intersection will dramatically increase. It was already THE MOST dangerous intersection in the state. Nothing has been done to help drivers turning left onto 130 and heading north. And nothing has been done to those drivers coming from the south and turning onto Old Pahoa Rd. Nothing. And that is the worst part of all of it.
You could always take a leisurely drive through Pahoa ,check out the sights and then turn left at the light at the other end of town.
And why will the traffic dramatically increase? Are people going to drive from Hilo to shop at Long's in Pahoa ?
