H2-SB-01-B

H2-SB-01-A
This is the southern terminus of H-2, where you can make the left turn to go to Honolulu.

Interstate H2 Northbound

This is the second H-series Interstate to be covered. H-2 runs 8 miles from Pearl City to Wahiawa. You are probably wondering why H-1 (and H-3) are signed east-west and H-2 is signed north-south, which is the opposite of the mainland's setup, and here's the answer, plain and simple: The H-series Interstates are exempt from the normal signing conventions because of the order in which they were built, so this is the second Hawaiian Interstate to be constructed.
H2-NB-02
Here's the first exit in our northbound trek on H-2.

Interstate H1 Eastbound

This is the first official new post of the blog, as we take a look at the many Interstate highways that crisscross our nation. We begin with the H-series Interstates of Hawaii, and we take a look at the eastbound journey on the longest one in the series, Interstate H1 (which is 28 miles long). To further distinguish itself from the mainland Interstates, the H-series use H as the prefix instead of I, and so they will be labeled as such here. So without further ado, here we go with the eastbound trip on H-1:
