Dr. J.
Your reply to my first 2 points? Please.
If you look to the future population in Puna, say 200,000, do you think that the primary artery for that population would do better with roundabouts? I am doubtful.
I am an armchair engineer, Dr., and will be one if I choose. Is there a doctorate required to post an opinion here?
As far as widening creating more traffic, I suspect that that depends on the surrounding road system. If you widen a road within a grid type system, where adjacent traffic from other roads might migrate to the wider thoroughfare, then I would imagine that that is probably true.
When the road in question is a single primary artery feeding all of the traffic in and out of a peninsula, I don't think so.
From the armchair,
Dan
