So, we’ve all been stuck on H1 at one time or another, perhaps every day.  The H1 near Pali Highway junction is always crowded.  Here’s a trick I learned after I wasted a lot of time on H1 going east, coming up on the Pali Highway junction.

As you get close to the Kalihi exit, get in the right most lane.  Get off on the Vineyard exit (20B).  Stay in the left lane on Vineyard and take it all the way down.  Vineyard will turn in to an onramp at the end.  You will see a sign to get back on H1 East.  It will pop you onto the H1, bypassing all of the traffic around Pali Highway.  Here’s a video:

Of course, if you want to take the Pali Highway exit, then you will have to stay on H1 and keep weathering the traffic.  In case you are wondering, I haven’t figured this out going west on the H1.
