ALAMEDA:Okay, thank you. You may proceed. <br />BARBER:Yes, he gave me the job of counting cars. He said I want you to <br />just go and count cars and trucks in and out at the Lakeland Subdivision and at the West <br />Hawaii Subdivision, West Hawaii Concrete, their in and out area. And I said, well, when <br />do you want me to go, like is there a good time to go? He said pick an hour, just sit there <br />for one hour, any time during the day, and just count how many during that hour. You <br />have a digital camera, take your camera. So there I sat, Tuesday. And I got the pictures <br />that are on -. The first picture thats Exhibit 13 is of what cars are at the Lakeland <br />Subdivision where there is no turn lane. I had two of these but in making 20 colored <br />copies it was taking really long time last night and I just printed one, how cars drive <br />around each other on the shoulder there. And in the morning theres also the Hele On <br />Bus that stops there; and theres people parked, standing on the side of the road where <br />people, you know, they dont completely pull over on the side of the road, but theres no <br />turnlane. <br />ThenextpictureshowsthetruckscomingoutofLakeland,andoneofthepeoplethatwas <br />standing there waiting for a ride even. <br />The next picture is another truck coming out of the Lakeland Subdivision. <br />And the next page will show you the times that trucks went in and out of the Lakeland <br />Subdivision. In one hour, there were eight trucks going either in or out. That would be <br />one whole day at Miranda Trucking. You know, they go out, they come back in. And <br />this was just in one hour. And Id like to note that it was one hour on what I know is a <br />slow day at the De Luz Quarry because there was a fire going down in Waikoloa and they <br />were not hauling to where they usually haul. <br />Below that I have listed how much other traffic there is. Theres cars and trucks in and <br />out of there all day because of the subdivision. So its a busy area and it has the trucks <br />going in and out. <br />The next picture is at the West Hawaii Concrete turnoff. And youll see there that not <br />only is there a hill that goes over but theres a hill and a turn. So when youre coming <br />from Waimea headed towards Kona and trucks are turning left, they dont necessarily see <br />whats even coming over the other end; and theres no turn lane. And, yes, theres traffic. <br />ALAMEDA:Excuse me, can I ask you whats the speed limit there? <br />BARBER:Yes, 55. <br />The next picture shows a truck turning left into that same West Hawaii Concrete and the <br />last page of that exhibit shows the exact times that trucks are in and out of West Hawaii <br />Concrete during that one hour from 11:40 to 12:40. Both of these I kind of went out at a <br />time that I thought is not peak hours. You know more trucks are in and out right at the <br />beginning of the day and I didnt want to come here with information that was skewed. <br />29EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
