STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO ALLOW motorists COMMUTING TO HONOLULU on the h-1 freeway to travel on the shoulder lane during THE morning rush hour commute in order to exit the H-1 FREEWAY at the Ewa/Waipahu Exit.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the traffic congestion during the morning "rush hour" commute on the H-1 Freeway heading into town is well-known to West Oahu residents; and

 

     WHEREAS, traffic backs up well before the Ewa/Waipahu exit, where many motorists get off the H-1 Freeway to head to work in Pearl City, Waipahu, Pearl Harbor, and Hickam Air Force Base; and

 

     WHEREAS, traffic congestion on the H-1 Freeway heading into town would be significantly diminished if motorists could use the shoulder lane of the H-1 Freeway prior to the Ewa/Waipahu exit for the sole purpose of exiting the H-1 Freeway; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Department of Transportation is requested to allow motorists commuting to Honolulu on the H-1 Freeway to travel on the shoulder lane during the morning rush hour commute in order to exit the H-1 Freeway at the Ewa/Waipahu exit; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Director of Transportation.
