Hawaii Roads

Also see the Hawaii section of the bridge designs outside of California page.
Notes and photos from trips taken to Hawaii in March 1998, and February and May 2005.
Route Signs
H1 H2 H3 HI 92
Some older H1 signs use a dash (H-1). There are some older state route signs still up with the state name on them, and one I saw on the '98 trip was an old cutout, embossed sign (HI 83, now bypassed by the current routing, located on the northbound Kamehameha Hwy between Kaneohe and Heeia).
SE Oahu
HI 72 near Hanauma Bay, southeast Oahu. Hawaii was experiencing a drought in March 1998, when this picture was taken.
Interstate H3
Interstate H3 opened in late 1997 and goes across Oahu from Honolulu to Kaneohe. It is mostly tall viaducts, with a couple of tunnels.

H3 north of Honolulu
Eastbound H3 near Honolulu.

Hawaiian Callbox
Callbox signs in Hawaii use a design similar to that in California. The numbering scheme is generally route number, direction, and milepost in tenths, example: 82N00184 for Hawaii 82, northbound side, at milepost 18.4 (note: callboxes on H3, shown in this photo, do not follow this scheme).

From the Pali Lookout
View from the Pali Lookout, accessed from HI 61. H3 is the road at the left, intersecting with HI 63.

H1 in central Honolulu
H1 midtown
Hawaii uses lane control at on-ramps. A solid line to the left to stop mainline movement into the merge lane.
North end of HI 93 West end of HI 930
There is no longer a connection around the northwest corner of Oahu (Kaena Point). On the left is the north end of HI 93 on the west side of the island, and on the right is the west end of HI 930 on the north side of the island.
