Was on the Saddle Road tonight, to & from the Mauna Kea Visitor Center. There were fantastic reflectors all the way down to Hilo on the center line and the shoulder lines - I think they're part of the new construction. It made the night driving and visibility so easy on an otherwise unlit road. So much safer! We need these kind of super bright reflectors (I think they're called Benson reflectors) on Hwy 132 Kea'au to Pahoa. I think it would prevent a good percentage of accidents (there were two that we passed just tonight). Currently there are very few street lights on this stretch and the reflectors - only along the center line - are dim as hell.
