He aha nā lula kaʻa ma Alaska?

ʻO nā ala kaʻa kaʻa maʻamau ma nā ala ākea o Alaska a he kōkua nui ia i nā mea hoʻokele ma nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaʻa ʻana ma Alaska no kona mau alanui kuaʻāina nani, pono ka hapa nui o Alaska e hopohopo no ka holo ʻana ma ke ala nui i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa he mau ala i mālama ʻia no nā kaʻa me nā kaʻa lehulehu a ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia nā mea hoʻokele kaʻawale ma luna o lākou. ʻOiai i nā hola kiʻekiʻe, ʻae nā ala kaʻa i nā mea hoʻokele e hoʻokele i kā lākou mau kaʻa ma nā ala kaʻa maʻamau.

He mea nui ka hahai ʻana i nā lula o ke alanui, a inā ʻoe e hana, hiki iā ʻoe ke pōmaikaʻi mai nā ala ʻauwaʻa o Alaska. Hoʻoikaika kēia mau alahele i ka hoʻokaʻawale kaʻa, ʻaʻole ia e mālama wale i ka manawa a me ke kālā kinoea, akā mālama pū kekahi i nā kaʻa mai ke alanui. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi o nā kaʻa ma nā alanui, ʻo ia ka emi ʻana o ke kaʻa, ka emi ʻana o ke kalapona, a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka pōʻino o ke alanui (a no laila ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā hana hoʻoponopono alanui e komo ana i loko o nā ʻeke ʻauhau).

ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ala wai kaʻa e hōʻemi ʻia i kāu huakaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā a i ʻole kahi holo kaʻa ʻole e hele ana ma kahi wahi kaʻa kiʻekiʻe. E like me ka hapa nui o nā lula kaʻa, maʻalahi nā lula a me nā lula e aʻo a hahai, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke pōmaikaʻi koke.

Aia ma hea nā ala kaʻa?

ʻO nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa ka ʻaoʻao hema loa ma ke alanui, ma hope o ke kaʻa e hiki mai ana a i ʻole kahi pale. Hiki ke hoʻokumu ʻia kēia mau alahele i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai kahi wahi wai kaʻa, a i ʻole he hoʻonui wale ʻia o kahi ala wai kaʻa ʻole. I kēlā me kēia manawa, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale iki ke alahele kaʻana mai nā ala maʻamau, akā e hui hou me lākou. I kekahi manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke komo pololei i ke ala kaʻa mai ke ala kaʻa, akā i ka nui o nā hihia, pono ʻoe e hoʻololi i ke ala puka maʻamau.

Ma ka hapa nui o nā ala nui o Alaska, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā ala kaʻa e pili ana i nā kaʻa kaʻa koʻikoʻi. Hōʻailona ʻia nā ala kaʻa a pau me nā hōʻailona ʻelua a me ka pena alanui me "HOV Lane" (High Capacity Vehicle) a me ke ʻano daimana.

He aha nā lula kumu o ke alanui?

ʻOkoʻa nā lula no nā ala kaʻa ma Alaska ma muli o ka ʻāpana o ka mokuʻāina āu e noho nei a me ke ala kaʻa āu e holo nei. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ala wai kaʻa ma Alaska e koi i ka liʻiliʻi o ʻelua mau kānaka i loko o ke kaʻa, ʻoiai ʻo kekahi mau ala e koi i ka liʻiliʻi o ʻekolu mau kānaka. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ala kaʻa e holo wale ana i nā hola kiʻekiʻe a he mau ala hele piha i ke koena o ka manawa, akā holo kekahi mau ala XNUMX/XNUMX. No ka ʻike ʻana i nā lula a me nā kaohi ʻana no ke ala ʻauʻau kaʻa, e heluhelu wale i ka hōʻailona ala kaʻa ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ala wai kaʻa.

ʻOiai ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā ala kaʻa kaʻa no ka paipai ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa ma waena o nā limahana, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e kaʻana like i kahi kaʻa me kahi hoa hana no ke kaʻa kānāwai ma ke ala kaʻa. Manaʻo ʻia ke keiki ma ka noho kaʻa kaʻa.

Ma Alaska, kapu ʻia ke kaʻa ʻana i loko a i waho o nā ala paka kaʻa. Hana ʻia kēia i mea e maʻalahi ai ke kahe ʻana o nā kaʻa a pale i ka nui o nā kaʻa mai ka hopena i ka pono o nā ala. No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke komo a haʻalele paha i kahi ala ke kaha ʻia ka laina ma waena o ke ala a me ke ala e pili ana me nā māka. Ke paʻa ka laina, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ʻoe e hoʻohui.

He aha nā kaʻa e ʻae ʻia ma nā ala kaʻa?

Ma waho aʻe o nā kaʻa kaʻa maʻamau e kū ana i nā koi o ka poʻe kaʻa liʻiliʻi, ua ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa e holo ma ke ala wai kaʻa ʻoiai inā hoʻokahi wale nō kaʻa ma luna o lākou. Hana ʻia kēia i mea e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka palekana, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka palekana o nā kaʻa kaʻa no nā mea a pau ke hele lākou me ka wikiwiki maʻamau a ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka bumper i ka bumper.

ʻAʻole like me kekahi mau mokuʻāina, ʻaʻole hiki i nā kaʻa wahie ʻē aʻe ke holo ma ke ala paka kaʻa ke ʻole lākou e hoʻokō i nā koi liʻiliʻi e noho ai. No laila, inā e kipa ana ʻoe i Alaska mai kahi mokuʻāina kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele iā ʻoe iho i kāu kaʻa wahie ʻē aʻe ma ke ala HOV, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hana pēlā.

Inā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokele pono ʻia ka kaʻa āu e hoʻokele nei ma ke ala nui, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e hoʻokele ma ka median inā ʻoe e hoʻokō i ka palena haʻahaʻa. ʻO nā laʻana o ia mau kaʻa he mau kaʻa e huki ana i nā mea nui, semi-trailer, nā kaʻa ma waho o ke alanui a me nā kaʻa kaʻa me nā kaʻa. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa pilikia, nā kaʻa kaʻa kūlanakauhale, a me nā kaʻa huki e hele ana i ke kaʻa.

He aha nā hoʻopaʻi hewa i ke ala?

ʻO ka hoʻopaʻi no ke kaʻa ʻana ma ke ala kaʻa kaʻa ʻokoʻa ma muli o ka ʻāpana o Alaska āu e noho ai a me ke ala kaʻa āu e hele ai. Ma keʻano laulā, inā hoʻokele ʻoe ma ke ala paka kaʻa no kekahi mau hola me ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe o kāu kaʻa, ʻo ka uku ma waena o $250 a $400. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā hewa hou aʻe i nā hoʻopaʻi kiʻekiʻe a me nā palena kūpono a i ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka laikini.

Hoʻopaʻi like ʻia nā hoʻopaʻi koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻohui ʻana i ke alahele i nā mea hoʻokele i komo hewa a haʻalele paha i kahi ala ma kahi laina paʻa.

ʻO kēlā me kēia kaʻa kaʻa e hoʻāʻo e hoʻopunipuni i nā mākaʻi a me nā mākaʻi ma ke kau ʻana i kahi dummy, dummy, a ʻokiʻoki paha ma ka noho kaʻa e hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻo ia i ka nui o ka nui, a i kekahi manawa ʻo ka manawa paʻahao.

Hiki i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ala wai kaʻa ke kōkua i nā mea hoʻokele o Alaska e mālama i ka manawa a me ke kālā, a kōkua i ke kaiapuni, ke alanui, a me nā kaʻa a puni. ʻOiai ʻoe e hahai i nā lula maʻalahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā pono āpau o ka ʻauwaʻa.
