There's a certain irony in the idea that Hawaii has interstates, given that it's an archipelago. It's great that H1, H2, and H3 exist, and Hawaii deserves the same road funding as any other state. But there's some lesson about naming conventions, or emergent properties, or maybe something else to be had here for sure.

This is awesome, and a nice trip down memory lane for when I lived in Hawai'i.
Looks like the last update was in January 2014 though.

Oscar Voss was updating some of xyr other pages as recently as 2018.
That website is a crazy labor of love. Pretty dope! Nice work
Sidenote, driving from Kona Airport south ( big Island) at night is one of the scariest things I have done with all the winding turns and hairpin like turns as well. Reminds me of the video games of need for speed, racing on a cliff. Basically, you need to be extremely careful at night on a single lane road with limited visibility and or bring glasses so that you are prepared to be blinded by other drivers's headlights.

Exact same sentiment - scariest drive I’ve done, but this was in Maui, diving back from Hana at night. I’ve never driven in such pitch black darkness before with hairpin turns.

Nonresponsive, low contrast, and unusable on mobile so not really. This is very 1999 design

People say, "Autism is on the rise" but as an autistic person I see a site like this and go, "No, autism was always with us, we just labelled it differently in the past".
I mean that lovingly.

I was having roughly the same thought.
I thought to myself, this is something my son would produce, and I'd be super proud, and see through the 90's/Yahoo-ish style.
If your hobby is anything that requires focus or attention to detail, it's autism.

"Autism is on the rise" isn't necessarily incompatible with autism being prevelant in the past (or mutually exclusive with the usually implied and objectionable claim that "Environmental factor X", usually vaccines, "is the cause").
If anything, based on my experience, and the experience of my autistic friends; I would expect autism to be on the rise just because of assortitive mating. With the invention of widespread access to university, and growing cities, it's much easier to meet autistic people than it would've been in the past.
A browser plugin, yes, that I installed to not go to insecure websites.

Does that really make the site insecure, though?
What’s the scenario, someone has launched an elaborate ARP cache attack in order to MITM a website about roads on Hawaii in order to get you mildly lost so that you have to pull over and look at Google Maps for directions, costing you an extra minute of travel time?

I understand your problem, I use similar filters. But I use a VPN too, so I'm able to quickly get around it.
Still, phrasing reads a bit like a BBQ review that starts out "as a vegan

I limit myself to https-only websites using website plugins. For privacy reasons.

You might want to consider using Tor Browser, since that mitigates more privacy issues than just using only https on websites.

Then I saw the date of the last update: http://www.hawaiihighways.com/what's-new.htm So comprehensive!
