The state has made public Friday the list of locations it has authorized its contractor to set up traffic camera vans to nab speeding motorists on Oahu.

Transportation Director Brian Minaai also released a list of areas where the speed enforcement program will be focused based on accident statistics showing a need for more safety.

Minaai said making the van locations public follows the state's intent to curtail speeding and improve safety as opposed to giving traffic tickets in order to collect fines.

"I think there were some minor adjustments that had to be made and we are listening to the concerns of the community as well as lawmakers," Minaai said.

Meanwhile, he said for the first time the camera vans will be set up in the late night and early morning hours in areas known to have a problem with speeding or highway racing.

Speeding VanGov. Ben Cayetano said he hopes changes addressing some of the concerns raised by the public will cool efforts in the Legislature to repeal the law that set up the program.

"I happen to think it is a sound idea. If it is the will of the legislature to repeal the program it is up to them. It is their baby. They started it. It's up to them. I think that would be unwise. I think this is a good program," Cayetano said.
