He aha nā lula wai kaʻa ma Georgia?

He mea maʻamau nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a ʻo Georgia kekahi o nā mokuʻāina e hoʻohana piha iā lākou. Ma kahi o 90 mau mile o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa nui ma Georgia i loaʻa nā ala wai kaʻa, e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka huakaʻi, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki a me ka leʻaleʻa no nā ʻumi kaukani o nā mea hoʻokele ma Georgia i kēlā me kēia lā.

ʻO nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa he mau ala e hiki ai i nā kaʻa me nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi ke holo. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa wale ma nā ala wai kaʻa a pono e noho ma nā ala ala hele piha maʻamau. ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻia ʻana o kahi ala kaʻa kaʻa wale, ʻo ia ka mea hiki i nā poʻe he nui ke pale aku i ke kaʻa ʻana i ka hola wikiwiki, no ka mea, maʻamau ka holo ʻana o ke ala wai kaʻa ma ke ala kiʻekiʻe maʻamau o ke ala ākea a i nā hola wikiwiki. ʻAʻole wale kēia e mālama i ka manawa a me ke kālā no nā mea hoʻokele he nui, akā hoʻoikaika pū kekahi i ke kaʻa kaʻa, e kōkua ana e hōʻemi i ka nui o nā kaʻa ma ke alanui. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi o nā kaʻa ma nā alanui ʻo ia ka liʻiliʻi o ke kaʻa no kēlā me kēia (ʻoi loa ka hopena domino) a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona. ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka nui o nā kaʻa ma nā alanui e kaupalena ʻia ka nui o nā pōʻino i hana ʻia i nā ala ala ākea o Georgia, e kōkua ana i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke alaloa a me ke kālā ʻauhau. I ka pōkole, ʻo ke ala ʻauʻau kaʻa kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi o ke kaʻa ʻana ma nā alanui o Georgia.

E like me nā kānāwai kaʻa a pau, e mālama pono i nā lula i ka wā e hoʻohana ai i nā ala wai kaʻa. He maʻalahi a maopopo nā lula, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama koke i ka manawa a me ke kālā, a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hola lōʻihi o ka noho ʻana i ke kaʻa.

Aia ma hea nā ala kaʻa?

ʻO 90 mau mile o ke alaloa o Georgia i ʻekolu mau alaloa like ʻole: I-20, I-85, a me I-95. Aia mau nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa ma ka ʻaoʻao hema loa o ke ala kūʻokoʻa, ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka pale a i ʻole ke kaʻa e hele mai ana. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, e pili mau nā ala wai kaʻa i nā ala hiki i nā mea a pau, ʻoiai ke hana ʻia nā hana ma ke ala ākea, ua hemo lākou i kekahi manawa mai nā ala nui no kahi manawa pōkole. Hiki ke hana pololei ʻia kekahi mau puka kaʻa mai ke ala paka kaʻa, akā i ka nui o nā hihia, pono nā mea hoʻokele e komo i ke ala ʻākau maʻamau e puka i ke ala ākea.

Hōʻailona ʻia nā ala kaʻa me nā hōʻailona alanui ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ke alaloa a i ʻole ma luna pono o nā ala kaʻa. He hōʻailona daimana paha kēia mau hōʻailona a i ʻole e ʻōlelo ʻia he wahi kaʻa kaʻa ke ala a i ʻole ala HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle). E kaha ʻia hoʻi kahi hōʻailona daimana ma ka ʻili e hōʻike iā ʻoe i ka wā e hoʻokele ana ʻoe ma kahi wai kaʻa.

He aha nā lula kumu o ke alanui?

Ma Georgia, pono e loaʻa iā ʻoe ʻelua mau kaʻa ma ke kaʻa e holo ai ma ke ala wai kaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole pono nā poʻe kaʻa ʻelua he mau hoahana a i ʻole nā ​​​​hoa huakaʻi. ʻOiai inā he pēpē ka lua o kāu kaʻa, e ʻae ʻia ʻoe e noho ma ke ala kaʻa.

ʻAʻole like me kekahi mau mokuʻāina, wehe ʻia nā ala kaʻa ma Georgia i 24 mau hola i ka lā, ʻehiku lā o ka pule. Ma muli o kēia, i nā manawa he nui, ʻaʻole holo wikiwiki ke ala o nā ʻauwaʻa ma mua o ke koena o nā alahele ma ke ala ākea. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hele ma ke ala kaʻa ke ʻole ʻelua mau kaʻa.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke komo a haʻalele paha i ke ala ma kekahi mau wahi. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke ala mai nā ala ʻē aʻe e nā laina pālua paʻa. I kēia hihia, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke komo a puka i waho o ke ala. I kēlā me kēia mau mile, e hoʻololi ʻia nā laina paʻa e nā laina ʻokiʻoki, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke komo a puka i waho o ke ala. Ma ka hoʻomaluʻana i ka wā e hiki ai i nā kaʻa ke komo a puka i waho, mālamaʻia ke kahe o ke ala wai kaʻa a hiki i nā kaʻa i loko ke neʻe i ka wikiwiki nui ma ke alaloa.

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

ʻOiai ʻo ke kānāwai o nā ʻauwaʻa maʻamau he pono e loaʻa iā ʻoe ʻelua mau kaʻa ma kāu kaʻa, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa. Ua ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa ma ke ala wai kaʻa, ʻoiai me hoʻokahi mea kaʻa. Ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o nā kaʻa kaʻa a hiki ke mālama maʻalahi i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe ma ke ala kaʻa, ʻaʻole lākou e lohi i ke ala wai kaʻa a ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka holo ʻana ma mua o nā ala bumper-to-bumper.

No ka paipai ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaʻa ʻōmaʻomaʻo a hoʻemi i ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona, ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa AFV (Alternative Fuel Vehicles) a me Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) ma ke ala wai kaʻa, ʻoiai inā hoʻokahi wale nō kanaka. Eia naʻe, inā he kaʻa AFV a i ʻole CNG kāu, mai hele wale i ke ala wai kaʻa a manaʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke pakele. Pono ʻoe e kiʻi mua i ka palapala laikini wahie ʻē aʻe mai ka Georgia Department of Revenue i ʻike ka luna kānāwai e ʻae ʻia kāu kaʻa e holo ma ke ala wai kaʻa.

ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia kekahi mau kaʻa mai ke komo ʻana i ke ala hoʻokū kaʻa, ʻoiai inā e lawe ana lākou i ʻelua a ʻoi aku paha o nā kaʻa. ʻO ia mau kaʻa, no ka laʻana, nā kaʻa kaʻa me nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā kaʻa e huki ana i nā mea nui ʻaʻole hiki ke holo ma ke kānāwai a palekana paha i nā wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe ma nā alaloa. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻae ʻia ʻoe no ke kaʻa ʻana ma kahi ala kaʻa me kekahi o kēia mau kaʻa, e hāʻawi ʻia paha ʻoe i kahi ʻōlelo aʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia kēia lula ma nā hōʻailona paka kaʻa.

Hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā kaʻa pilikia āpau a me nā kaʻa kaʻa kūlanakauhale mai nā hoʻoponopono kaʻa.

He aha nā hoʻopaʻi hewa i ke ala?

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa ka hewa o ke kaʻa ma muli o ke ala ala a me ke kalana āu e holo nei. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻi maʻamau no ke kaʻa ʻana ma ke alaloa holo kaʻa hoʻokahi ma waena o $75 a me $150, ʻoiai hiki ke ʻoi aku inā ua uhai pinepine ʻoe i nā lula. Hiki ke ho'opau 'ia ka laikini o ka po'e ka'a i uhaki pinepine i na rula ala.

Inā hele ʻoe i nā laina ʻelua paʻa no ke komo ʻana a i ʻole ka puka ʻana i kahi alahele, e hāʻawi ʻia ʻoe i kahi palapala hōʻino ala maʻamau. Inā ho'āʻo ʻoe e hoʻopunipuni i nā luna ma ke kau ʻana i kahi dummy, dummy a kiʻi paha ma ka noho kaʻa ma ke ʻano he kaʻa lua, e loaʻa ana paha ʻoe i kahi hoʻopaʻi nui aʻe a hiki i ka manawa paʻahao.

Ma Georgia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻi ʻia e ka mākaʻi, ka mākaʻi alanui, a i ʻole ke Keʻena o ka Maluhia o ka lehulehu no ka hana ʻino.

ʻO ke ala kaʻa kaʻa kahi ala maikaʻi loa e mālama ai i ka manawa a me ke kālā a pono e hoʻohana mau ʻia ke loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono. I ka wā e hahai ai ʻoe i nā lula a me nā kaʻina hana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kekahi o nā ala nui loa o Georgia i kēia manawa.
