A bad situation made worse. The construction workers are parking their big trucks on the shoulder about 100' from the intersection, effectively blocking all visibility to anyone attempting to enter or cross HWY 130. I stopped and pointed this out to 2 of the workers and asked if they could do something to make the situation safer. They said "no, can't do that" and turned around and walked away. Please try to avoid this intersection if possible. It is now extremely dangerous.
Call DOT and ask to see their traffic plan for the construction, including where large vehicles such as you described should be parked when not being actively used. Get the name and email address of the person you talked to, the traffic engineer who wrote the plan and also the one who is in charge of the project if they are not the same person. Take and send pictures by email with a polite letter to the engineers in charge and CC Hawaii NewsNow, Civil Beat, and the governors office.
I find when dealing with government that starting at the top always gets better results than talking to the boots on the ground guys.
