The requirement for a stop light, and determining who pays for it is not a simple matter.
When the developer of the lot at Auli'i and Hwy 130 wanted to build a 3 or 4 store mini shopping center, the state wanted to require a stop light at the intersection. It was a catch 22 because the state doesn't want a light at that intersection, and they probably requested it only to drive up the costs to prevent the shopping center from being approved. When it was pointed out that the larger Orchidland Wiki Wiki development didn't need a light, they said, "what does that have to do with this intersection?"
The result was, no conveniently located KTA for HPP, Orchidland, & Pahoa.
