The president is scheduled to arrive this Friday, Nov. 3.
Expect major traffic delays Friday and possibly Saturday in the H-1 and Waikiki areas. The public is urged to avoid these areas if possible.
Officials could not go into details on planned road closures for security reasons, but the general time frame follows:
2-3 p.m. Traffic will be closed eastbound to Waikiki
4-5 p.m. More eastbound closures
7-8 p.m. More eastbound closures
Full freeway and road closures are anticipated. Westbound closures are also possible between 4 and 5 p.m.
If you have an event to go to, plan ahead and leave early.
Interesting, at least to me, they are publicizing this so much - Obama made trips to Waikiki (generally Morimoto's at the Modern) and he'd do so on a Friday as well - the problem with Obama is you never knew where he wanted to go any given day so getting stuck in motorcade traffic wasn't all the unusual.
Interesting. I wonder if it's because Obama is from hawaii so he may be a bit more spontaneous?
Though I'd assume with POTUS travel, I assume there is massive logistics planning from the security and accomodation/traffic side, so that the local PD can setup a plan for that date. Maybe for some reason the media likes to tout Trump plans more.
With Obama being POTUS for 8 years, I assume he traveled to Hawaii fairly often and POTUS traffic nightmares is not un-usual for the people who've lived here that long....

He'd be here 2-3 weeks at a time over Xmas and New Years every year. The motorcade zips by fairly quickly - on the Pali Highway they'd only close down the direction he was traveling not both sides since I passed the motorcade fairly often.

Okay not too bad in that case.
A quick question if you or anyone else has answer.
When they say east bound H1 between pearl harbor and waikiki closed from 2-3pm does that only entail the start of closure at 2pm or do police start setting up and closing down ramps even before 2pm?
I ask due to needing to pick some people up at the airport at around 12-1230pm, and I should be on road by 1245pm latest but hoping no traffic builds up near that time frame.....

They will start the closure at 2pm (unless of course he arrives early - that part isn't difficult for them to do, they will stop traffic at Pearl Harbor - and have police ready at every on-ramp.

The other thing I want to point out. The overpasses over H1 will have rolling closures. You aren't driving over an overpass or standing on an overpass as the motorcade goes by.
