SENATE 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, 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 Resolution be transmitted to the Director of Transportation.
