(4.4.1) Goals: a) Highways have design features that improve traffic safety and reduce collisions, particularly at intersections. b) Highway design is more aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the natural and rural character of Puna. c) Increased County and community influence over highway planning and design decisions. (4.4.2) Objectives: Make intersection improvements along highways that allow sager access from intersecting streets as a priority over traffic speed on the highway, giving preference to the use of roundabouts. Consider roundabouts as a means to control private driveway access to major highways with higher traffic volumes, such as Highway 130. Use native landscaping for highway improvements and connectivity points, emphasizing the retention of native vegetation. Incorporate traffic-calming features into highway design in preference to signage and signalization, where possible.
