Is Haseko Planning To Add Any Stop Lights On Keoneula Blvd. To Support An Increase In Traffic In The Future?


A traffic study commissioned a few years ago showed that the south leg of a crosswalk across Keone‘ula Blvd. could be warranted at Kamakana Street, but not on any of the other legs of that intersection, or at Kaiwawalo Street. A traffic signal is not warranted at either intersection. In December 2021, a raised crosswalk was installed at the intersection of Kamakana Street and Keone‘ula Blvd. We anticipate additional traffic signals may be needed in the future on Keoneula Blvd. but traffic signals can only be installed once the City’s warrant criteria are met, which is not expected to occur until the entire retail component is finished, and the City approves the plans.

Traffic calming measures can be implemented at an intersection, street, neighborhood, or area-wide level. “Road diets” are one approach to traffic calming. Road diets involve a reduction in the width or number of vehicular travel lanes and reallocate that spa
