Because the limits that are set are f*cking idiotic. Almost all the speed limits in the state are at least 10 mph below the safe speed and the prevailing traffic speed. The long straight stretch of the Puainako extension is 45. Most of Highway 11 from Hilo to Mountain View is 45, and the Keaau intersection is 35. It just gives an excuse to hand out tickets. Moreover, the police never ticket anyone who is actually driving dangerously during high-traffic times, only those who are going the usual speed early in the morning or late at night when there are few cars on the road.
