Get ready for more traffic on Hawaii roads

Advertiser Staff

Starting this week, summer vacation's over for public school students — and for Hawai'i drivers.

The back-to-school crunch will add five to 30 minutes to most commutes.

Leave a bit early — or later if you're not ferrying schoolkids with a first-bell deadline. Plan your route and check online resources for traffic alerts.

Traffic updates are available online at www.honoluluadvertiser.com. The site also contains a link to the city's traffic-camera system.

The Honolulu Police Department also regularly reports traffic problems at www4.co.honolulu.hi.us/hpdtraffic.

The city has a new online resource, driveakamai.org, that lists ongoing road-repair projects that may affect traffic.
