Maui: State’s first 4-lane roundabout to be built Project would create crossing for future high school students
The state of Hawaii’s first four-lane roundabout will be built at the Piilani Highway intersection that services the new Kihei high school in response to a long-running dispute over a safe crossing for future students.
“When that school is built it will open with a roundabout at that intersection,” said state Department of Transportation Deputy Director for Highways Ed Sniffen during a recent phone interview.
State Rep. Tina Wildberger, who represents South Maui, also confirmed the roundabout would be built in Kihei. Sniffen said statistics gathered from around the world show that four-lane roundabouts work.
