Yes, most of the problem is a long straight stretch in both directions before coming to what is basically an S-curve with multiple intersections. There aren't any caution signs before the curve and the speed limit through there is 50, so naturally everybody is doing 55. Just connecting Kahakai together and putting a conventional 4-way stop light at the intersection, with pull out lanes is going to solve most of the problem, people going too fast and the totally confused appearance it has now. The other thing is just make Kahakai the exit for Pahoa center and get rid of the one at the T-intersection. Lot less disruptive and a lot more safe, plus probably being a lot cheaper. And you aren't going to sit at a stoplight at night, they all have sensors these daze.
