URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO MINIMIZE RUMBLE STRIP DIMENSIONS ON A SEGMENT OF KAMEHAMEHA V HIGHWAY ON MOLOKAI TO REDUCE UNINTENDED HAZARDS.

This bill urges the Hawaii Department of Transportation to adjust the size and design of rumble strips on Kamehameha V Highway in Molokai to reduce unintended safety hazards. The resolution argues that the current rumble strips are too aggressive, causing drivers to swerve into shoulders where cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable. It requests the department modify the strips to be shallower or use sinusoidal patterns that provide warning without encouraging dangerous avoidance maneuvers. The bill also asks for reduced noise pollution to improve quality of life for local residents. This is a non-binding resolution that does not mandate changes but formally requests the department to review and adjust the road design.
