The town has a large concentration of hotels, shopping centers, and tourist-oriented shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, it also has the worst traffic congestion on the island of Kauaʻi, with a regular mainland-style rush hour each afternoon. The state government has built an inland bypass road and implemented a contraflow lane reversal program; these measures have only partially alleviated the traffic problems.
