The highway passes through the Wilson Tunnel, and takes commuters from the towns of Kāneohe and Kailua on the windward (northeast) side of the island, through Kalihi Valley into Honolulu on the leeward (south) side of the island. The other trans-Koolau highways are Pali Highway and Interstate H-3. There is a runaway truck ramp on the highway.[1]
