"All you need to do is park on 28th and Paradise or 28th and Kaloli. Commuters pull off highway 130 turn left on 28th and then drive like a bat out of hell to beat the traffic on 130 and they merge back onto 130 at Shower where the State has provided them with a dedicated right turn/acceleration lane."
I don't disagree that this is happening. My suggestion would be for HPPOA to reach out to and work with Hawaii County Police. Perhaps maybe set up an unannounced "speed trap" every few weeks and issue a few dozen speeding tickets. As I understand it, up to 10MPH over is $62.00 and up to 19MPH over is $122.00.
Maybe even just "park" one of the old, marked Crown Vics on the side of the road for a few hours during rush hour. As a visual deterrent.
Now, granted, the State gets the ticket revenue, but this to me would go far in curtailing the problem, in addition to speed bumps/humps.
