It's just more Ha-Ha-Ha-Hawaii. It is such a laugh to go through there, especially the sudden addition of a big pullout lane to the village market, which should have been put in years ago, which would have decreased contention for the T-bone intersection. The good thing is finally realizing a pull out lane to the market area will reduce people going through towards Kalapana direction. Compared to the construction, the roundabout is a breeze for the most part. It's the zany layout now, along with 5 signs where there used to be one and it looks like more and more signs are being added every day. Coming in from Hilo, it looks like a sign forest, especially with the poles in the center. It is impressive what South Punatic malahini armchair civil engineers can come up with.
