I'm from New York. With millions of people and vehicles pouring through that city every day, there are relatively few traffic foul-ups thanks to a combination of good city planning, and savvy, observant drivers and pedestrians. Somehow Oahu, my new home, with more room and far fewer people than Manhattan, seems to be traffic-inept. This Blog chronicles Hawaii's farcical amalgam of deficient drivers, backward pedestrians, inadequate planning, and overall substandard traffic management.
