Speed traps on Hwy 130

I know the lava flow at Kalapana can change at any time, but tourism is an example of an element on the roads that isn't easily controlled.

I have to disagree that tourists will be growing less. More and more are interested in staying in Kaloli Pt, Kapoho, Kehena, and other areas reached by 130, and this started before the lava flow. They stay there as a base for touring East Hawai'i, in part because it's affordable oceanfront and has the rep for being sunnier than Hilo.
