All of the raised crosswalks on Kaneohe Bay Drive (and probably all the others in the area) should be removed or redone.
Cars should be able to comfortably drive over them at the speed limit, but these are too high to drive over even at the reduced warning speed.
They are a traffic hazard, as people suddenly have to slow down way below the speed limit, which will cause accidents. The humps on the Pali Highway are fine, so why not make these the same?
Another city-caused traffic hazard is on Mokulele Drive, where lane-marking lines are painted about 3 feet out from parked cars, where bicyclists normally ride. This forces bicyclists out into the now narrowed traffic lane, causing dangerous conditions for cyclists.
The city is wasting money on projects like these instead of more effective measures like embedded warning lights and pavement warning paint approaching crosswalks.
