Really getting tired of hearing tourists from the mainland trying to be kamaaina and constantly whine about one road access. It is the same on all the islands. It isn't unique to this island. None of the islands have multiple alternate routes. This isn't freaking California, or North Dakota or Texas or Colorado, with a grid network of highways. Try staying in Honolulu for awhile and find an alternate to H1 inbound during the morning or outbound in the evening. Business and most tourist time is during the day. Even in Honolulu, H1 is pretty open at night. It is the same situation on all the islands, affordable housing a commute to business and employment hubs. A PMAR from Kapoho to Richards is obvious as another route but we know that is never going to happen.
