Too many mainlanders bring their mainland driving habits and expectations to the islands. It is really starting to become noticeable with all the recognizable rental jeeps. Always driving way too fast, too distracted and frankly, like mainland a-holes.
Pulling over is an option at any of the side streets (on the right hand side going up hill as I was) - but you cant pull off the road except at intersections because of the concrete bumps along the side of the road.
I personally do not think I was driving too fast or like a ETD:
I was wondering what the traffic engineering study said about the speed limit on Ainaloa. They were supposed to have been done before the speed limit was set no matter what the property owners board wanted.
And again, this was a warning to be careful and not speed, or like someone else said drive flow of traffic and just know you might get a ticket. (all my friends 5 tix I know of were issued for speeds of 33-41 mph).
ETA: after some research I found that when the officer sits near the long house in Ainaloa, people complained. I was given my tix up at the top Augie's old house (past the last street - Augie had the "Ainaloa Bypass" when the gate was closed up there) and 9 RD. Just researching... nothing more. Paying fine, driving slow.
