Re: Kinda funny
How do the signs completely contradict each other? If there was a "No Left Turn," "No Right Turn," and "Wrong Way - Do Not Enter" all on the same pole, maybe. But that's what "Dead End" is for!
I guess I see this signpost nearly every day, as I live in Mililani. When you reach the light at the end of the loop ramp, you have to turn right (thus, no left turn at any time). However, they don't want you trying to merge into folks coming out of Mauka and generally trying to get onto H-2 south (thus, no right on red).
And sure you can't go straight, else you'd end up across Meheula Parkway on the H-2 north ramp going into Mauka.
There are lots of amusingly confusing signs in Honolulu. I guess I don't think this is one of them.

Then it's another 3-1/2 miles to the airport!
Always see cars making hard cuts from the fast lane to that offramp. Stoopid sign.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: Kinda funny
many visitors complain about our poorly, amateurishly planned hiways, signage and byways...
one sign sez:
Arizona memorial
stadium
right lane
another sez:
aloha stadium
next right
(and of course, it's not the next right, it's the one after.)
another sez:
stadium.
Ok.
HOW many stadiums do we have here?!
we give them nothing to know or to assume there is one only.

Re: Kinda funny
OR... if yer in the middle ewa bound lane and wanna get off wilder or luinalilo or king... ya gotta decide a half hour before, cuz a mile before these offramps, there always is a solid white line preventing you from making a legal right lane change. For a long distance!

Re: Kinda funny
If you guys who live in the 'aina rant that you have stupid signage (we do up here, too), then how do you expect us touristas to avoid accidents when trying to obey your signs? Please don't honk your horn at me or give me the one fingered shaka as I hold up a whole lane of traffic by slowing down and trying to decipher what your signs are trying to tell me, especially if I don't have a copilot sitting next to me screaming at me that the driver in the car directly behind mine is giving me the stinkeye and may do me bodily harm if I don't speed up.

And how can you live "in" the aina? You can live on the land, or even off the land, but in the land? Wouldn't you have to dig a bit to get "in" the aina?
All my kupuna use "on," which makes more sense to me.

Too many tourists go into vacation mode when they get here and turn off the common sense circuit in their brains.

I actually preplan every road trip I take if I am unfamiliar with the roads. I don't like to take chances at ending up somewhere where I could get myself in trouble.
