How the hell did was he able to over turn his car in afternoon traffic? Stupid driver probably was texting. But still, how the hell he flipped?
It’s time to close that Piikoi on-ramp
Agree. 100% of those cars must merge left two lanes which impedes traffic flow.
If people used more aloha at that point and took turns letting the drivers on the ramp merge in, the traffic would move faster and more smoothly and safer. If you notice, the traffic opens up right after that point so the extra time letting someone in is very small. There are a lot of “me first” people who don’t like to let you in.
I believe there was another flipped auto on Kapiolani / Atkinson (son informed me)? Just how you flip it over never surprises me…maybe it was of our visitors who opted for the often famous U-turn on Kapiolani…happens a lot on the corridor from Keeaumoku to Atkinson. No details, hence it a not official.
