dc.description.abstractWhile some congestion is expected at rural attractions such as national parks, theme parks, special sporting events, scenic points and the like, there are locations along the rural highway network that nearby attractions cause substantial congestion and/or unusually elevated traffic safety risk. This paper presents the case of two very popular tourist attractions on the North Shore of the Island of Oahu in the State of Hawaii: Laniakea Beach and Shark’s Cove. These locations are within five miles of each other and are served solely by the 2-lane rural Kamehameha Highway. These two locations have been congestion black spots for over a decade, and local opposition to more development and tourism has been substantial. A team of students in civil engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has been meeting with the local communities and has collected sample data to substantiate the extent of the problem. Several discussions were completed, where mitigation proposals were presented and discussed. This paper summarizes both the history of this problem, and the various data collected such as vehicular and pedestrian volumes, travel times and queue lengths. It also presents a list of proposed mitigations. There is a multitude of problems with most of the proposals including cost, appeal (they are not context sensitive), difficulty with agency jurisdictional bounds, community acceptance and risk from waves and long-term sea level rise.en_US
