Traffic Incident in Oahu
SSH TRAFFIC: Why this morning was so bad By 7 a.m. HPD had 23 collisions on the books for Oahu since 4 a.m. A typical Thursday in those hours is 8 or 9. Fourteen of them were on the freeways, where a typical Thursday morning has 2. In order, by HPD's records and our own drive-time readings: 5:37 a.m. H-1 westbound at Ola Lane, collision, vehicle towed. Our reading from Vineyard to the Middle Street merge went from 2.1 minutes to 15.4 by 6:28. 5:38 to 6:02 a.m. H-1 eastbound, collisions at Waimalu (two), the Aiea off-ramp and Middle Street. Middle Street to Vineyard peaked at 17.5 minutes. 5:41 to 5:47 a.m. Pali Highway, four collision records in six minutes near Country Club Road, one towed. 6:26 a.m. Moanalua Freeway at the H-3 merge, collision. H-201 eastbound from Halawa to Middle Street read 38.9 minutes at 6:25. 6:38 and 6:42 a.m. H-1 at Aiea Heights (eastbound) and the Pali off-ramp (westbound). 6:51 a.m. Moanalua westbound at the Red Hill exit, stalled vehicle. 7:00 a.m. H-3 eastbound, heavy delay measured, no cause reported. HDOT at 7 a.m.: "To mitigate traffic due to the motor vehicle crash on the H-1 at Ola Lane, the Zipperlane is open to all vehicles and closure will be extended to 9:30 a.m." Not the weather. No weather alert is in effect for Oahu this morning. The Flood Advisory and Flood Watch are for Maui County. Collision counts cover complete hours only (4 to 7 a.m.) and records for the most recent hour can still arrive. A drive-time reading is the trip for someone starting at that minute; a stopped queue reads lower than the wait. Video from the Ola Lane scene shared with us by Dylan Jeremiah Castillo. Mahalo.
