NU’UANU — Police officers were out in force yesterday morning at Pali Highway and Dowsett Avenue, primarily ticketing drivers who failed to exercise due care in the presence of pedestrians.
The "pedestrians" in this case were police officers assigned to HPD’s Traffic Division. They wore civilian plainclothes and took turns venturing across the six-lane highway in a marked crosswalk at an intersection where there is no stoplight.
It is the same intersection where Hideno Matsumoto, 81, of Nu’uanu, was fatally injured Jan. 12 while trying to cross the busy thoroughfare .
"We try to do this once or twice a month," said Capt. Keith Lima of HPD’s Traffic Division . "We had four pedestrian fatalities (on O’ahu) last month alone. That’s four too many." [Note: Maryland averages over 9 pedestrian fatalities a month and maybe an enforcement once a year.]
