While it’s good to have blinking yellow lights to warn drivers about people using a crosswalk, perhaps a different-colored light can be used. A yellow light may not catch the eye of a driver, who may or may not be paying attention.
Likewise, using much bolder and perhaps multicolored paint to mark crosswalks may be helpful to motorists and pedestrians. Look at the bold, wide lines used in crosswalks at other countries, especially Korea, versus the small, partially elongated lines at Keeaumoku and Makaloa streets. Bishop and King streets should be a prime location for an “all-way crosswalk” intersection to enhance traffic and pedestrians.
It’s no shame to ask others for ideas on how to improve Hawaii.
