Well, I gotta' say it. There is a dark issue in Hawaii that goes back before my time here, first time here that is 
The people of Hawaii can't manage to merge. There I said it. How many times have I looked for the simple cooperation of every other car and not seen it? Several times I've felt like I was in TJ crossing the border after a surf trip. I mentioned this to my mom and she said it was that way in the 60's/70's when we lived here before (I didn't remember too much of that, too little).
I've seen big roundabouts and little roundabouts in Arcata, CA and I wasn't really all that impressed. The mixture of slow hippie vans and redneck logger trucks kept it interesting. Don't even think about how critical mass affected them. They just kept going in circles...
In Australia it seemed to work, I just wonder if many of the good citizens of Hawaii make it a habbit to run red lights, how are they going to cooperate at a roundabout?
Cheers,
Sean
