400k people a year drive the road to Hana... I wouldn't call that "so few people" or "nearly impossible."

Like 90% of people turn around or stop in Hana. It’s what comes after that’s truly incredible

That isn't the 'east side' I am talking about. I am talking about after Hana and around the whole south east side of the island.

Years ago you weren't even supposed to drive along the far side of the island, they had signs saying your car insurance would not cover you past certain points on the road. Not sure if still the same.

When I went to Maui in 2019 they had signs at the rental car places that showed places you weren’t allowed to drive on the island.

Yea, the whole 'east' side of the island and I believe the far north west corner as well.

You can see the roads on google earth and the road on the east side becomes one lane for much of it and looks like it hasn't been repaved since it was created.

There is just nothing on that side of the island so few people go there. But am sure it would make an amazing drive. It's on my list of things to do when I win the lotto and won't worry about destroying a rental car gif

We drove around the NW side on pur honeymoon. Can confirm, it was basically a single lane goat trail at parts. Lots and lots of chickens and pigs running around. Very steep on both sides of the road.

The views were incredible. I don't know if I'd do it again, but it was worth the drive..
