~~<p>Question: To whom do I report a faulty traffic signal? The left-turn signal for westbound traffic on Ala Moana Boulevard at Kamakee Street is triggered each time the green light for the westbound traffic is activated, even when there are no cars waiting in the left-turn lane. Before the current round of construction, the left-turn signal was activated only when cars were waiting in the left-turn lane. It is frustrating to wait in the eastbound lane at 5 a.m. when there is nobody waiting to turn into Ala Moana Park.</p>
<p>Answer: For any complaints or questions regarding state highways, including concerns about traffic signals, landscaping, potholes, lighting, graffiti and safety hazards, call the state Department of Transportation highways hot line at 831-6714.</p>
