Where will traffic improvements take place?

To better accommodate traffic flow through the area, many of the traffic improvements projects will occur throughout the corridor.

Monitoring & Signal Operation Improvements (Hardware)

  • Traffic monitoring cameras will be installed at seven* strategic locations, providing full coverage of the entire corridor.
  • Intersection Modernization - five* intersections will be modernized.
  • Pedestrian countdown signals will be installed at each intersection from Acacia Road to Center Drive.
  • Underground fiber optics will establish a communications link between all intersections and the traffic control center downtown.

*Improvements will occur at Pali Momi East and Pali Momi West intersections.

Intersection Signal Improvements

  • Signal changes were implemented at the intersection of Hekaha St. and Kamehameha Hwy. in December 2006.
  • Signal changes for Kaahumanu St. and Kamehameha Hwy. will be implemented February 2009.

Signalized Intersections (Software)

  • After all "hardware" has been installed, optimized signal timing plans for weekday and weekend peak travel times will be developed and implemented.
  • Work will start between Honomanu St. and Acacia Rd., then follow between Center Dr. and Salt Lake Blvd.
