HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation Airports Division advises motorists of modified traffic patterns entering the Honolulu International Airport.  Beginning early Saturday morning, May 10, new traffic signals at the bottom of the H1 Freeway Airport off-ramps (Exits 16) leading to the ground level (Arrivals/Baggage Claim), and Aolele Street westbound approaching the Inter-Island Terminal, will have flashing yellow signal lights activated.  Motorists are advised to slow down and proceed with caution through the lights.  After an orientation period, the signals will be activated with full stop lights.

The new stop lights and traffic patterns were installed to address safety issues created by vehicles weaving and merging through that section of the roadway.  The traffic signals are part of a larger project for airport roadway improvements.

Motorists are asked to drive with caution while familiarizing themselves with the new traffic signal location.
