Road signs everywhere ( it's an international policy) are always designed to direct people who already know where thy are going. "Next Exit" signs on the ramp of this exit. abbreviations and acronyms always help "NAIA next right " Of course everyone racing along in eight lanes of traffic knows this means: Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Of course maps which show only, for example: "I 87" but with signs only saying "Major Deegan Expressway" also enhance the driving experience.
I suspect the Hilo sign was mandated by an engineer in Honolulu who was looking at a map and had never been to the Big Island.
Maybe that bridge was built by the U.S.E.D. (suckers everyday) A part of Hawaii's history. http://www.squareone.org/Hapa/u8.html
