Why is no one talking about the Kilauea-Lighthouse Road? That road amounts to one giant pothole, with all kinds of dips and doodles, so much so that drivers concerned about their suspensions are forced to swerve around to avoid damaging their vehicles. This make for a very dangerous situation. It is only a matter of time before there is an accident involving cars and/or pedestrians. Signs have been up for well over a year promising roadwork, but not a thing has been done. We natives are getting restless!
Kilauea is always overlooked. The road to be lighthouse is in high use and no one cares about it. Cars are getting damaged. Also Kahilihilo Rd mauka is dangerous because people have to drive in the middle of the road to avoid falling into holes. A friend had a bad accident a few years ago on it due to potholes and nothing has been done. It was on the six year list which turned into a twenty plus year list now.
