New Washington kānāwai E pani i ka bila Senate 6208 e ʻae i kēia manawa i kekahi kanaka e hoʻokele ana i kahi paikikala i ka hiki ke hāʻawi i ka hapa nui o nā hōʻailona kū ma ke alanui, me kekahi mau mea i hoʻokoe ʻia e like me nā hōʻailona kū i loaʻa ma nā keʻena kaʻaahi a i ʻole nā hōʻailona kū i hoʻohana ʻia e nā kaʻa kula. E pili wale ke kānāwai hou i nā hōʻailona kū, a pono e hoʻomau nā poʻe paikikala e hoʻokokoke ana i nā kukui kaʻa e hahai iā RCW (Revised Code of Washington) 46.61.184, kahi e ʻōlelo nei e kū piha ana kahi mea holo paikikala e hoʻokokoke ana i kahi huina alanui a hiki ke hoʻomau me ke akahele inā ʻaʻole "hana ka hōʻailona kaohi kaʻa ma hope o hoʻokahi pōʻaiapuni o ka hōʻailona kaʻa," e komo pū me nā huli hema.
Pehea ke ʻano o ka hua kūpono?
I ka nānā mua ʻana, hiki paha i kēia kānāwai hou ke manaʻo ʻia he mea hoʻowahāwahā i kekahi poʻe, akā he hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo ka hiki ke mālama i kahi hōʻailona kū ma ke ʻano he huaʻai ʻaʻole ia e ʻae i nā mea holo paikikala e holo pololei ma waena o nā huina alanui me ka nānā ʻole. I ka wā e hāʻawi ai, pono ka mea holo paikikala e hana i kēia mau mea:
- E hoʻolohi i ka wikiwiki kūpono.
- E hāʻawi i ke kuleana o ke ala i nā kaʻa ma ke kihi alanui.
- E kū loa, inā pono, no ka palekana.
Pehea e pili ana i nā hopohopo palekana i maopopo?
Ua hoʻāla mau ʻia ka palekana o nā poʻe paikikala a me ka hopohopo nui no nā mea hoʻokele i ka wā e pale aku ai nā luna mokuʻāina i kēia kānāwai hou, akā eia ka nūhou maikaʻi: ua hōʻoia ʻia ʻoi aku ka palekana a me ka pono o ka hiki i nā poʻe paikikala ke kū ma nā hōʻailona kū.
ʻO ke ʻepekema ma hope ona e pili ana i ka momentum o kahi mea holo paikikala i ka wā e neʻe ana ma kahi huina alanui; ʻo ka hiki ke mālama i kēlā momentum ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana e hiki ai i kahi kanaka e hoʻokele ana i kahi paikikala ke neʻe i ka wikiwiki loa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hiki ʻana mai i kahi kū piha a pono e hoʻihoʻi i kēlā momentum loa, no laila e hoʻolilo ana i ka manawa hou aʻe ma ke huina alanui me ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka puka makani no nā collisions (Dahl, “Eia kekahi kekona”).
ʻAʻole wale ke kākoʻo ʻana o ka ʻepekema i kēia kānāwai, ua hoʻohana kekahi mokuʻāina i ke kānāwai stop-as-yield mai ka makahiki 1982, i ka wā i hoʻomaka mua ʻia ai i ka Idaho a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "Idaho "E kū." ʻOiai ua lohi loa ka hapa nui o nā mokuʻāina i ka hahai ʻana i ke ʻano - ʻo Delaware ka lua o ka mokuʻāina e hoʻokō i ke kānāwai i ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala aku nei i ka makahiki 2017 a ke hoʻohuli nei i nā mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe e hana like - kokoke i kanahā mau makahiki o ka ʻike ma Idaho wale nō, a me nā haʻawina e hoʻohālikelike ana i ka palekana paikikala ma Idaho i nā mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe, ua hōʻoia hope i kona pono.
Ma kahiʻatikala ma ka Bellingham ʻelele i kapa ʻia ʻo "Ke Kānāwai Hou e ʻae" Washington "Manaʻo nā poʻe holo paikikala i nā hōʻailona kū e like me nā hōʻailona hāʻawi. ʻAʻole ia he manaʻo pupule," wahi a ka mea kākau ʻo Doug Dahl i ke ʻano o ka emi ʻana o nā ʻeha paikikala ma 14% i ka makahiki Idaho i ka makahiki ma hope o ka hoʻokō ʻia ʻana o ke kānāwai hou. Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Dahl i ka wehewehe kikoʻī ʻana i nā haʻawina a kahi mea noiʻi halihali ma UC Berkley nāna i hoʻohālikelike i nā ulia paikikala ma Boise, Idaho i Sacramento, Kaleponi - nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua me nā kumu like e hoʻopilikia ai i ke kaʻa paikikala, me ke ʻano o ka ʻāina, nā pono hana, ke aniau, a me nā demographics. Ua hōʻike ke aʻo ʻana pehea Boise he 30% a 60% palekana no nā poʻe paikikala ma muli o kona ʻokoʻa koʻikoʻi - ka hoʻohana ʻana o Idaho Kū. I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale me nā wahi ʻē aʻe, e like me Bakersfield, Kaleponi, ua loaʻa nā hopena ʻoi aku ka ʻino, e hōʻike ana "ka holo paikikala ʻana i loko o Boise he 150 a 252 mau manawa palekana ma mua o ka holo lio ma Bakersfield” (Dahl, “New Law”).
He aha kāu e hana ai inā pili ʻoe i kahi ulia paikikala e alakaʻi ai i ka ʻeha
ʻOiai ke manaʻolana nei mākou e kōkua kēia kānāwai hou i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā ulia alanui a me nā ʻeha paikikala, ua maopopo iā mākou e mau ana nā ulia. Washington Mokuʻāina, loaʻa i nā mea holo paikikala nā pono like a me nā kuleana like me nā mea hoʻokele a no laila ua mālama ʻia lākou i nā kūlana palekana like i ka wā e hoʻokele ana i kahi paikikala ma ke alanui. Eia kekahi mau mea i hāʻule ma lalo o ka mālama ʻole o ka mea hoʻokele a mea holo paikikala paha, a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoholo i ka hewa inā pili i kahi ulia:
- Ke kalaiwa ʻana a i ʻole ke kaʻa paikikala ʻana ma ka wikiwiki loa no ke alanui a i ʻole ke kaʻa kaʻa
- Ke kalaiwa ʻana a i ʻole ke kaʻa paikikala ma lalo o ka mana o nā lāʻau lapaʻau a i ʻole ka waiʻona
- Ka hoʻokele kaʻa a i ʻole ke kaʻa paikikala, me ka leka uila ʻana i ka wā e hoʻokele ana/kaʻa paikikala ana
- Ka hoʻolohe ʻole ʻana i nā hōʻailona kaʻa a i ʻole nā hōʻailona
- ʻAʻole hōʻailona pono i ka wā e huli ana
- Ke hahai kokoke nei i kahi paikikala
Inā ʻeha ʻoe a i ʻole kekahi āu i ʻike ai i ka wā e holo paikikala ana a i ʻole pili i kahi ulia me kahi mea holo paikikala, ua mākaukau kā mākou loio akamai i nā hihia ulia paikikala a eia mākou e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike i nā kikoʻī o kāu hihia, a e hoʻōla piha iā ʻoe ma lalo o Washington kānāwai. E hoʻokaʻaʻike mai iā mākou ma ke kelepona, leka uila, a i ʻole kikokikona ma o ka widget kamaʻilio ma kā mākou pūnaewele.
