in the second week of operation, Oahu's speed limit cameras nailed 20,000 drivers a week across the 10 cameras in Honolulu. But that's not resulting in tickets... because Hawaii doesn't have enough employees to issue them and adjudicate them in court

 The highest speeds we saw were on Ward Ave going 88 mph through a 35 mph zone.”

“The volumes are the challenge,” State Department of Transportation Director Ed Sniffen said. Hawaii doesn't have enough manpower to issue citations.

 “We have 1,500 red light tickets per month and we need two officers to take care of those,” Sniffen explained. 

“If we reduce (the number of tickets) from 80,000 to 40,000, that’s still 20 times the resourcing that we’ll need to address these tickets.”
