While sitting in the stop and go traffic that creeps through Shower to get on the highway this morning I was picturing all the lower Puna traffic being added to that. It takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to get across the subdivision and then onto the highway in the morning now, opening RR to Maku'u will just move the current Kahakai traffic jam down the road 3.75 miles and add a slow gravel road stretch to the drive. The people who think opening that road up will be some sort of solution are dreaming, it will just move one traffic nightmare down the road and add it to another traffic nightmare.
