Enough is enough.

Looking at you, traffic light controller/programmer/authoritor, or powers that be. Hopefully somebody at HDOT or whatevs, sees this.

ISSUE: Related to main thoroughfares. Signal turns green. Immediately proceeds to next signal which turns red either before you get there or just getting there. Absolutely no reason for this - Frustrating absolutely.

EXAMPLE: Just a couple of'em, then you'll get the gist.

OFFENDER: Rush-hour northbound Likelike @ School St... Traffic backed up past Bernice St. Light turns green. Boogie forward. Light is already red or just turns red for the lead cars @ Kalihi St. Major disappointment and WTF!! Maybe 200 yards traversed. Ok, now green, continuing on... almost guarantee to hit red again @ KAM IV. The next 2 lights upstream are a crap shoot.

OFFENDER: Rush-hour westbound Ala Moana at Ward... Green means go, only to get stopped out @ Ahui or Cooke. And probably again @ Channel St. Idiocracy reigns as there's either 1 pedestrian or 1 car on those feeder streets to trip the timers and halt the flow on a major street like Ala Moana Blvd. Channel St. is a two-timing dirtbag because it'll catch you going Diamond Head direction too, right after getting a green from Alakea. The nerve.

MIND-BOTTLING OFFENDER: This one never fails me to rage internally and externally. That relatively new light at the exit (Diamond Head side) of Kewalo Boat Harbor and Ala Moana... Get the green at Kamakee/Ala Mo beach park entrance/exit, going Ewa-bound on Ala Moana only to get a red at the next light as described earlier. This the ultimate in crap going sideways. Just... no can. This is most un-cherreh. Probably 50 feet between those 2 lights. wow and auwe to that.

Repeat offenders all over the island with feeder streets bogging down major ones with a pedestrian or car or 2 to trigger a complete flow stoppage, at it's most inconvenient times. Lights can be re-programmed and those 1 or 2 cars or peds can wait just a little longer. Nimitz (and others) has shown that lights CAN be timed accordingly.

I would really like to know the why's behind this mess. Enlighten me because I need to see what I'm not seeing.

TL/DR: traffic could be small bit better, but is not.
