It took Obie 43 minutes to commute from Kapoho to the top of Macuu without any traffic. It's a one-lane road right now, how's that going to work? There's going to be large trucks bringing in food and gas and possibly water. Have they widened it all they're going to widen it? Pau?
It looks more like a one-way, emergency evacuation only route to me.
Waa Waa is beautiful, one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii. Hopefully the commuters won't be throwing their trash out their car windows like they do everywhere else around here.
For anyone that doesn't have a photo of Govt. Beach Rd. at Waa Waa before the emergency declaration, you're welcome to download one of mine here:

Quite a few of us down here are discussing how the Beach Rd. would handle the traffic without a two lane width along most of the corridor. Between 4 corners and Kahakai, the worst stretch in terms of width is through the Mango Grove.
We already get broken televisions, computers, appliances, old tires, and various car parts strewn along the road in addition to bags of garbage.
