Rob, Has anyone asked the Chief of Police to intervene. HCC gives the Chief the authority to enact emergency traffic rules (up to 90 days) to implement measures if needed. Although the common thinking is this is for special event, HCC does not limit it to only that purpose. All the Chief has to do is declare the intersection unsafe and impose emergency traffic control. Once that's done, all heck will follow if government refuses to act after such a declaration.
And if government refuses to act, the people need to decide if they are serious about this and start a ballot referendum. Hawaii gives its citizens the right to take control when government fails to act. This may be one of those items where FoPF needs to take this drastic route.
