There are 37 billionaires who collectively own 11% of Hawaii’s private land — a startling statistic that fits right in with the one about billionaires’ enormous climate footprint relative to the rest of us. Should you ever find yourself at one of their parties on a large island estate with those blue signs, simply do what you always do and roll right through after looking both ways (we’re kidding about that — please stop at stop signs).

There are plenty of downright goofy road signs out there, but the blue stop sign serves a legitimate traffic purpose and you should be prepared to comply if you encounter one, in Hawaii or elsewhere. Luckily, you don’t need to learn anything new — blue stop signs instruct the exact same action as their red counterparts, they just get placed in different locations. And as with most other urgent road signs, if you get confused feel free to simply read the written instruction rather than relying on the color. “Keep moving” means keep moving, “yield” means yield — and whatever the color, “stop” means stop.
