UNSAFE DRIVEWAY EXIT POSES PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE The proposed plan as submitted by Fuke Consultants show an exit from the property as right out,right in and left out. The left out would put cars exiting over two sets of a double yellow lines below the beginning of the left turn lane on Manono Street. This poses a public safety issue for multiple reasons. 1. Traffic turning left from Lanikaula onto Manono Street would be confronted by automobiles exiting the Manono Corner LLC trying to turn left from said property onto Manono Street. Exiting cars would have to cross two sets of double yellow lines. *mom 2. Traffic going south on Manono Street trying to turn left on Lanikaula Street would have to negotiate around automobiles exiting left from the Manono Corner LLC. 3. Traffic going north on Manono Street would have to negotiate around automobiles exiting left from the Manono Corner LLC. 4. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has published crash statistics: 82.4%of traffic accidents occur in or near an intersection. 5. We agree with the Dept of Public Works recommendation of right in/right out only for the Manono Street exit. 6. If the planning department sides with Mr.Fuke and intends on allowing a left turn exit from the property,we expect a traffic study to be conducted first.
