One left turning car from Shower can stop all movement onto the highway for as long as 15 minutes while they wait for a break in traffic so they can turn.... this repeats at each street between 22nd and 28th, with cars backed up on those side streets and all the way down Shower.
If most of the cars attempting to turn left on Hwy 130 are driving to Pahoa, and an alternate route were available, for instance Railroad Ave, many of those drivers would choose to take the slightly longer but less time consuming road, one that didn't involve waiting for 15 minutes at the highway to turn left.
The backup between 22nd and 28th would then be greatly reduced as commuters from HPP not driving to Pahoa would mostly make a right hand turn on to Hwy 130.
