FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH FACTOR: ROADWAY VISIBILITY <br /> The majority (51%) of fatal traffic crashes on Hawaii Island occurred at nighttime (see Figure <br /> 15)which is in line with national averages (47%). The likelihood increases for vulnerable users <br /> as 64% of all fatal traffic crashes with pedestrians or bicycles occurred at night. Hawaii County <br /> is faced with a number of factors that limit its ability to increase roadway visibility, including <br /> limitations on streetlight luminescence levels and hundreds of miles of rural, unlit roadways. <br /> Map 6 identifies the location of fatal traffic crashes that occurred during night and day. <br /> Communities of concern, roadway ownership, and the location of available police stations and <br /> hospitals have been delineated as well. <br /> FIGURE 14.
