Why did the local go through Kalakaua Ave? To get to the other side of Waikiki of course. One thing I found useful is knowing which lane to be in if you want to drive through Kalakaua Ave in Waikiki. There are tons of pedestrians, trolleys, buses, delivery trucks, and taxis that are just waiting to block your car if you want to get to Kapiolani Park on the other side of Waikiki, where there is free parking, which I will discuss on another page. In any case, you want to get to the other side. Here's the best way on video, which starts from McCully turning left on to Kalakaua Ave.
At the start, you will want to stay in the 2nd lane from the right as you get on Kalakaua Ave. This is because everyone is trying to make a right in to a street, hotel, or shopping area, and the farthest right lane usually gets backed up because cars are not able to make a right due to pedestrians crossing the street on the right side. Cars can get locked forever on the right lane. You will want to avoid the left most lane as well for the same reason. Pedestrians make it really hard to turn either way off of Kalakaua Ave.
After you pass the Moana Surfrider, you will see a trolley stop. After the trolley stop, your best lane is actually to stay on the farthest right lane because there are no more shopping areas, hotels, or streets on the right side anymore. After passing the trolley stop, just move one lane over to the right, and it's smooth sailing to Kapiolani Park! Good luck, and may the traffic Gods smile on you when you enter.
