So my local paper in Oregon says that a judge has allowed the ferrys to set sail again. Did this really happen? Are they back in business?

But still only two cars per minute. So..... X number of cars divided by 2 is how many minutes to get your car off if you are at the back? :14:and the bit the judge rules about only two cars every five minutes or so was bagged too.
BTW - I get asked almost daily what I think of this by tourists. I try to ask them first what their impression is, and so far all but one of them have said nearly the same thing in different ways "I'd hate to try and start a business in Hawaii" ... I just have to agree...
Aloha, Tim
Unfortunately, the other really nasty bit of traffic is Dairy Road in Kahului --- just about everyone coming and going from the airport has to traverse the length of Dairy Road. It also has to carry all traffic coming from Lahaina that is headed for Hana Highway.Bad traffic is in Lahaina and Kihei, and neither one is anywhere what Oahu sees.
Then the locals can complain even more about no jobs.

I wonder how many decades it will be before someone wakes up to the fact that they should cut a bypass road through back behind Walmart/Home Depot/Lowes --- kind of like the narrow bumpy Hansen Road, but also connecting to the terminal side of the airport. It a short distance, level, empty land. It would be a really good traffic improvement for the cost, so that means it probably won't happen.
Kind of like Mokulele highway upgrade that has taken years, when most of the improvement could have been done by just adding multiple turn lanes right around the light at Kihei end of the highway.
