Letter: Traffic getting worse on North Shore road

Liza Liew said it for all of us stuck daily, sometimes an hour at a time, trying to get from Pupukea to Waialua and back again (“Laniakea traffic jam is a real emergency,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, July 29).

We now have to strategically plan our day, every day. If we need to get to Haleiwa from Pupukea, we darn sure better get there early and be back before 10 a.m. There is no way to leave Pupukea after 1 p.m. as the traffic is backed up from Laniakea to the traffic light at Pupukea Road every day. Going toward Waimea, cars are driving on the right-hand shoulder and passing at high speeds. I have called 911 three times just last week alone.

This is such an easy fix. Mainland beaches have the beach, then the parking lot, then the road. Here we have the beach, the road, and then the (illegal) parking lot. Enforce the many “No Parking” signs across the street from the beach. The money from all the tickets may be enough to move the road to the other side of the parking area.
