Is it just me... or does the timing of the Flaggers that are in front of the New Fire Station seem really off?

I can understand once or twice having to be held up for 5-10 minutes at a time...

Today was the 4th time I've been by this little flagging section of H-130 and each time I'm waiting 5 Plus minutes each time. (at least it feels that long)

On Thursday of last week... I waited 10 minutes and I was watching the clock because I needed to be in town at a certain time.

It's times like this when I really think we need a Puna Makai Alternative Route (PMAR)

I'm a bit nervous about how much slow downs there are going to be once the actual H-130 Keaau-Pahoa Highway project begins.

I don't think the people of Puna should be held up for so long because of flaggers.

On Oahu, much road construction is done at night so that it lessens the impact of traffic.

Is there any reason this road work couldn't be done at night as well?

Damon,
First of all Isemoto hires the POLICE to flag, these men are qualified to direct traffic. It's not some guy out there with out any qualifications. I thought they were done crossing the road for the flashing lights, after that item there will be no lane closures.
All excavation is off the road until paving and striping.
Can't work the east side at night because of rain. The production rate would be so low the tax payers would pay double for the same product. Second, how do you pave and stripe in the rain[?]
