Hwy 130 speed limit drop

[hotinhawaii]

Thank you James for the document indicating that the lowered speed limit was based on community input.

My concern about the slower speed is not primarily that it will take a few minutes more time to drive through that section, it is that by reducing the speed of traffic, you allow less volume of traffic to travel the road. On an already very congested road, this will increase the number of cars on the road in any given distance and thereby actually increase the accident rate.

Because this was based on community input, I will now shut up and wait and see what happens.

By the way, anyone have an update on the 130 expansion work????
