I have to chuckle when I see people use the term "traffic nightmare" in reference to Puna. Anyone who has lived in the D.C. metro, Atlanta, Houston, or LA gets to use that term. Punatics should stick to "inconvenience." As for Railroad, it was built for emergency use, and the powers that be do not define the roundabout detour as such. I'm guessing that at least part of their reasoning is not wanting to have to deal with demands from HPP for compensation, although in its current dysfunctional state, HPP is probably too busy infighting to put up much resistance.
