Tez Hearing Traffic Emergency Zone Hearing
The hearing focused on declaring a traffic emergency zone for a section of the Daniel K. Inouye Highway due to a high rate of fatal crashes. Key discussion points included immediate short-term safety measures such as the installation of open-graded friction course pavement to mitigate hydroplaning, rumble strips, improved signage, and speed safety cameras for issuing warnings. Potential long-term mitigation strategies were also discussed, including a full divided highway conversion, installation of median barriers, and re-striping for passing lanes, with further feasibility and funding studies planned.
