AI Summary

  • Hawaii House Resolution urges the Department of Transportation to modify rumble strip specifications on Kamehameha V Highway east of mile marker 9.5 on Molokai.

  • Current rumble strips are considered overly aggressive, causing motorists to swerve toward shoulders or straddle the centerline to avoid the jarring impact, creating hazards for cyclists and pedestrians.

  • The resolution recommends adopting reduced-dimension or sinusoidal "mumble strip" profiles, which can reduce external noise by up to 10 decibels while still providing lane-departure warnings.

  • Certified copies of the resolution are to be transmitted to the Director of Transportation and the Maui County Mayor.
