HPP has a process for residents to identify roads that could benefit from speed humps. 75% of the residents on that particular street must agree that speed humps are needed. The road must be at least 750' long. Humps cannot be placed at an intersection, in front of a driveway etc. The traffic on the road has to average at least 200/day and at least 10% of the cars that drive on the road speed (speed limit in residential neighborhood is 25mph). PLUS, HPP requires that the residents pony up and pay in advance for the installation of speed humps by a licensed contractor that meet the design specifications as provided by the national traffic engineering council

In the case of Papio Street in Hawaiian Shores, the board moved that the residents who presented a petition from 75% of the residents along Papio Street could pay for and install the humps provided they met all federal, state, county and by-law requirements. The residents organized and did just that. The board is likely to adopt the same Speed Hump policy used by HPP as it is a workable model for residents to ensure that people observe the speed limit signs posted on the roads.

Two guys with cold patch would not be allowed.

These speed bumps cost $1500 each. Speed bumps for Coastal Puna Parkway would cost even more because the road is twice as wide and would be less effective because the road shoulder is also twice as wide.

But have no fear people...
The new unofficial detour up Kuna St. and down Coastal Puna Parkway takes the vehicles by Councilman Blas' residence. Maybe he will be the hero who rectifies this unneighborly situation!
