their blessing to cut through HA.
Just remember that Road 8 is not a County Road; it's still privately owned, with an access easement, and no enforceable speed limits.
Anyway, from the article:
1. Outsourced off-island and out-of-country:
Traffic Division and Honolulu engineers for the Swedish video manufacturer Axis Communications
2. Expensive:
preliminary price to install about two-thirds of the cameras and associated operating network is about $17 million
3. Inadequate:
The problem is, when we test that, we slow down our own access
4. Selective infrastructure:
What that basically does is sets up all the signals with fiber optics
The last one irritates me most of all: County can manage a Federally-funded fiber optic network to watch cars, but they can't seem to entice Oceanic to provide rural broadband -- other municipalities have managed to "share" their traffic-signal fiber to create a regional backbone as a way of stimulating high-tech investment.
It's especially galling when one considers that the fiber is already in place: I watched the crews installing it a couple of years ago along 130.
