Puna Driving Tips

[Kapoho Joe]

The roundabout does not have a stop sign associated with it.

Didn’t Hawaii change to the triangular-shaped stop signs a few years back? I’m confused because the signs have the word “stop” spelled funny....

[My 2 cents]

Yeah, they changed the color too.

No need to stop or even look right when pulling onto the highway. Its a one way road right ?

Alternate rules apply in lower Puna:

- When you *see* a hot hippie chick (or dude) slow down to check them out.

- When you *smell* a hot hippie chick (or dude) speed away as fast as possible.

When someone is tailgating too close drive as close to the center line as possible so they can't see around your car. Then they back off a little.

As a mainlander who visits often.

There are no stop signs in the roundabout, and no reason to be doing anything less than 25mph in it. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when it was new, but a year later you still all stop for no reason when entering it and exiting it.

Please move to the left edge of the lane when waiting to turn left, so people going forward can get by on the right shoulder.
Please move to the left edge of the lane at red lights when going forward, so people turning right-on-red can get by on the right shoulder.

Slower traffic using the left lane on 130 doesn't actually bother me. They all appear to be timid as well, so it's easy to duck in and out of their lane to get around cars slowing to actually make a right turn.

When merging S of Keaau, use both lanes until the end, it is the most efficient traffic flow. Or don't, and let me sail to the front in the right lane.

Please use Waze, so everyone knows where the bluelights are, and when to just give up and stop for a snack because the road isn't moving anyway.

Blue lights? You're worried about Hawaii County blue lights?
With location services activated in my phone, I'd really have something to worry about, algorithms, the New World Order, and agents from the Deep State.

No thank you. I'm silent running.

Sure, use Waze so you can create traffic on residential streets because you're in such a hurry you don't care about disrupting quiet neighborhoods to get where you're going. This ain't the mainland.

Waze is only relevant where alternative routes exist.
