I was having roughly the same thought. I thought to myself, this is something my son would produce, and I'd be super proud, and see through the 90's/Yahoo-ish style.

Then I saw the date of the last update: http://www.hawaiihighways.com/what's-new.htm So comprehensive!

"Autism is on the rise" isn't necessarily incompatible with autism being prevelant in the past (or mutually exclusive with the usually implied and objectionable claim that "Environmental factor X", usually vaccines, "is the cause").

If anything, based on my experience, and the experience of my autistic friends; I would expect autism to be on the rise just because of assortitive mating. With the invention of widespread access to university, and growing cities, it's much easier to meet autistic people than it would've been in the past.

Researching and publishing/hobbies is now autism?

Oscar Voss was updating some of xyr other pages as recently as 2018.

Peak page load performance too

Nonresponsive, low contrast, and unusable on mobile so not really. This is very 1999 design

As much as I enjoy dunking on the various annoying fads in contemporary web design, it’s easy to make an identical mistake in the opposite direction and romanticize the past too much. This page is close to unusable: the low-contrast black-on-green text is hard to read, the click targets are tiny, and it doesn’t work at all at mobile.

I don’t really blame the site creator because it seems like this hasn’t been updated in a long time, but I want to push back on your attitude. We can embrace usability without giving in to web slop.

Exact same sentiment - scariest drive I’ve done, but this was in Maui, diving back from Hana at night. I’ve never driven in such pitch black darkness before with hairpin turns.

Alaska also has interstates, although they are not built to mainland standards. (Hawaii's are. Hawaii is much more densely populated than Alaska.)

The interstate highway system is actually made up of Interstate and Defense Highways. So all the "interstates" in Hawaii are actually Defense Highways that connect Pearl Harbor with other military bases on Oahu.

- The H-1 goes from Barbers Point to Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head.

- The H-2 connects Pearl Harbor with Schofield Barracks.

- The H-3 connects Pearl Harbor with MCBH (Marine Corps Base Hawaii) at Kaneohe.
