Question: The Oct. 18 column (808ne.ws/4ebVEyQ) mentions only one intersection getting the right-turn green arrow onto Ala Moana Boulevard, but there are others that need it too. Will an arrow be installed at other intersections where right on red is no longer allowed? Or might the DOT revert to right-turn-on-a-red light being allowed at any of the intersections along Ala Moana Boulevard where they took it away?
