Where will all the cars go...? James "Kimo" Rosen

There are many alternatives to driving, biking is healthy,
fun and saves thousands of dollars in gas. Try walking,
biking or taking the bus as an alternative to driving.

Imagine an endless line of cars with nowhere to go, Kaua'i may soon come to this reality. Every year there are thousands of  people becoming of age to drive, translating to even more traffic congestion.

 The cosmic island of Kaua'i is only  33 miles long and 25 miles wide with few roads. The major road  which nearly  runs around the whole  island is called a highway, although it  looks nothing like a highway, more like a country road with  speed limits posted in most areas only 25 mph.

There are more than one million registered motor vehicles in the state of Hawaii, that's more than one vehicle for every man woman and child. Everyday car dealerships sell more and more vehicles, when will it end, where will all these vehicles go?

There is no state in the United States with fewer lane miles than Hawai'i,  with Kaua'i ranking last place in miles of road among the four major Hawaiian islands.

With  approximately 235 miles of paved roadways and 40 miles of unpaved roadways on Kaua'i, there will soon  be no place to drive, just motor vehicles at a standstill from one end of the island to the other. With  under 300 miles of paved roads on Kaua'i and over 60,000 vehicles and growing, eventually there will be the ultimate traffic jam with nowhere left to drive.

There is no greater feeling than passing  car after car, truck after truck while riding a bike or walking.  Obesity is at an all time high, why not try killing two birds with one stone  by  getting some much needed exercise while leaving your vehicle behind. The environment will love it, your health will treasure it and with gas at an all time high your pocketbook will scream for joy.
