HI HR162

Urges the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu to install a four-way stop at the intersection of Managers Drive and Hiapo Street in Waipahu.

Identifies heavy pedestrian and motor vehicle use at this intersection due to proximity of Waipahu Uka Neighborhood Park and bus stops, with pedestrians frequently crossing illegally across the four-lane road.

Cites national statistics showing intersections account for approximately 20.8 percent of motor vehicle fatalities and notes that crashes at signalized intersections occur more frequently and with greater severity than at non-signalized intersections.

References Transportation Research Board recommendations that alternatives to traffic signals—including all-way stop control—should be considered for managing unsignalized intersections.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Director of the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu.
