The speed hump on Paradise just before 130 is being installed as a public safety measure following several accidents where traffic from Paradise shot through the intersection and crashed into the property at the head of the T junction. Some of these idiots even managed to crash through a guard rail installed earlier. Whether the speed bump wakes the stupid and/or intoxicated drivers in time to do any good remains to be seen.
There is precedent for public sector improvements to HPP roads. During the 2014 eruption that threatened Pahoa and 130, improvements were made at public expense to portions of Railroad and Beach which would have been used by commuters had 130 been cut. Fortunately that didn't happen. I believe the work was done by the county with financial and logistical support from the state.
