Traffic light on 130

[My 2 cents]

Nope, Shower is the most used Hilo bound exit from HPP all day long, but especially in the morning commute hours. It used to take me 15 minutes just to make it up Shower from 22nd to the highway, due to all the people coming in from every single side street, some of whom actually cross the highway from the mauka subdivisions and then turn right out of Shower. Shower is the safest exit from HPP and many people just want to get the hell off that death trap of a highway ASAP.

While this all may be true, I believe the main criteria for determining where a traffic light goes is number of fatalities. This intersection leads all others in that category and most of the accidents involve people turning left to go Hilo-bound from Pohaku Drive.
