The police have been ticketing in HPP, too. The philosophy behind traffic enforcement as a remedy for burglary is that it gives the message that the police are present and monitoring an area. That's added police presence, and it's a good thing. The cops don't have any local monetary incentive for writing tickets because all the traffic fine money goes to the State of Hawaii. Having said all that, the 25 mph limit on Ainaloa Blvd seems about 10 mph lower than comparable roads in this area.
